<p>I have some majors in mind, just wondering which deparments are large/strong and which majors are most popular :D Does anyone know?</p>
<p>my two student interviewers raved about the english department and the english professors. But that may have just been their individual opinions.</p>
<p>yeah in Princetonreview they list English and HIstory as two of the most popular majors...maybe English is truly famous there. Much as I like English (and have been majoring in it for the past 4 years T_T) Im an international...dont think I can handle English courses with English-speaking peers ^^</p>
<p>I know that creative writing is one of their more popular majors and the department is really small so its a difficult program to get into. Also the sciences are HUGE at oberlin, Especially Chemistry and Environmental Studies. I never heard of english being a popular major, but I'm sure princeton isnt lying.</p>
<p>From collegeboard.com:</p>
<p>Oberlin Most Popular Majors for Bachelor's Degrees</p>
<pre><code>* Visual and Performing Arts: 29%
* Social Sciences: 16%
* English: 12%
* Biology: 9%
* Area and Ethnic Studies: 7%
* Environmental Science: 5%
</code></pre>
<p>since there're many branches in the social sciences division, the 16% number is not surprising...i was wondering if which social science is actually the most popular/has a strong department...
anyway, thanks everybody :D</p>
<p>What about the computer science program there ?</p>
