Science and Culture

<p>I'm not sure whether I want to become a scientist, a lawyer, or work in the arts. Regardless, I would like a major that is integrative, something along the lines of "Politics, Philosophy and Economics" or "History of Science", but perhaps even more broad. I've also heard that Geography encompasses both physical and social science.</p>

<p>What schools offer this kind of overarching major?</p>

<p>I'm not well-versed in what schools offer what, but you may also want to look into double majoring with a major called "Philosophy of Science". I know the University of Pittsburgh offers it, but I'm not sure who else does. You can double this major with something like Geography (make sure you take GIS courses to become employable in the future), a hard science, or maybe something like anthro.</p>

<p>I believe GA Tech does</p>

<p>Edit: They do!</p>

<p>Many schools allow you to create your own major, and many somewhat standard majors have a lot of variability within them, for example history (from history of science to a place to a them such as military history) or political science (from political philosophy to international relations/area studies to essentially legal studies). See what departments that interest you offer.</p>

<p>Maybe you'd be interested in the Great Books curriculum at St. John's?</p>

<p>University of Chicago has a couple of majors that should appeal to you:<br>
