<p>hello,
i was wondering which of the two majors is the least difficult to get into?? rhetoric or media studies and also can you minor in either of them?? thanks!</p>

<p>yeah i’m wondering about the same question. also. hows mass communications at cal? feedback would be appreciated thanks</p>

<p>Mass Communications IS Media Studies now.</p>

<p>Mass Communications/Media Studies is a little bit more difficult to get into. Cal admits students by division. Rhetoric is in the Arts & Humanities division with an admit rate of 46% while Mass Comm/Media Studies is in the Interdisciplinary Studies division with an admit rate of 38%.</p>

TOTALLY confused me.ahh! anyways. thanks! oh yeah, so if I finish the prereqs for media studies, is there a possibility that I can double major in econ? are they from the same department?
grey-please check your pm</p>

<p>actually, your right. If berkeley accepts students by departments. then that means I have to be in the same department as economics, in a different major( say, political science, political economy of industrial socieites, etc. website: [Prospective</a> Majors](<a href=“http://emlab.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/prospect_related.shtml]Prospective”>http://emlab.berkeley.edu/econ/ugrad/prospect_related.shtml) ) , in order to be eligible to double major in economics. is that correct?</p>
