I know of only a few colleges that offer Med & Ren Studies as a major (UNC, Duke, William & Mary, Washington & Lee, Vassar, Wellesley, Holy Cross, and SUNY Albany), so I'd say that applicant is out of luck. :eek: Take Egyptology as an example that I'm more familiar with. Only Yale, Penn, Brown, Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Michigan, UCLA, UC Berkeley, and U Toronto offer it at the undergrad level (adding NYU and U Memphis at the grad level). Even in the UK, it's mostly limited to Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Liverpool, and Wales-Swansea, most of which are quite competitive. Similarly, Celtic Studies is found at UC Berkeley and arguably Harvard (adding a few public schools like Wisconsin and UNC for a vague sort of program). The more obscure departments tend to appear at the elite colleges that can afford them. </p>
<p>On a more practical note, I agree with gellino- geology (my second major) is an excellent major. There are relatively few jobs compared to other science fields, but the large number of retiring geologists and extremely low geology grad production results in a large number of jobs available, particularly if you can write environmental impact statements or are familiar with GIS. The ratio of jobs to BS grads in geology is 14.3:1, compared to 9:1 in chemistry, 5.2 in physics, and 1.2 in biology. </p>
