<p>Hi guys, I'm new to the board and was wondering where I could find information on the top/or popular majors at each of these UC's? I have been accepted to UCSB and UCI. If I go to UCSB I am thinking of majoring in Communications. If it is UCI, either Humanities or Sociology.</p>

<p>I found a list of the top 10 majors at UCSB:</p>

<p>1) Business Econ
2) Biological Sciences
3) Psychology
4) Communication
5) Sociology
6) Political Science
7) English
8) Computer Science
9) Law & Society
10) Global Studies</p>

<p>well... since i currently go to uci, i'll say a few things about the humanities and sociology departments. </p>

<p>i was a school of humanities/undeclared major for about a year. the school of humanities is very small, and you get a lot of personal attention. you get a personal faculty advisor who writes recommendation letters for you, and you also get weekly emails from the "humanities network" that tells you about everything you'd ever want to know. there's a really good humanities paid internship program too, exclusive to school of humanities students.</p>

<p>i recently changed my major to sociology because i came across some really good professors. if you do end up going to uci, take a class with dr. shampa mazumdar and definitely one with dr. chuck o'connell. o'connell was voted "professor of the year" by the graduating class of 2005 at uci. it's ironic because mazumdar and o'connell are both lecturers ("temporary" or as other sociology professors call it, "permanent temps"). the sociology department certainly does have some of the best professors on campus.</p>
