<p>which few majors are strongest at UCSD??
and which college is the best??</p>
<p>Biology and BioE are the two obvious majors that come to mind, given the number of people enrolled in those majors and the "UCSD has best bio" mentality many HS seniors have when choosing UCs.</p>
<p>Other strong majors include the social sciences, namely Political Science, Economics, and Psychology.</p>
<p>If Biology is so popular in UCSD, how come it is not an impacted major as BioE? I have never been able to understand that.</p>
<p>'cause there's different majors in biology. there's 4 main divisions: Cell & Developmental Biology, Molecular Biology, Neurobiology, and Ecology, Behavior & Evolution. then there's also 8 different majors in biology: Animal Physiology & Neuroscience, Biochemistry & Cell Biology, Ecology, Behavior & Evolution, General Biology, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Human Biology, Bioinformatics, and Physiology & Neuroscience. it's just that overall ucsd is strong in the bio department.</p>
<p>and none of them are impacted majors neither?</p>
<p>i don't think so, though general and human bio seems pretty popular.</p>
<p>What about anthropology?</p>
<p>biological anthropology</p>
<p>Most engineering majors are very strong too, the Jacobs School of Engineering is overall a good school</p>
<p>is anyone majoring in pharmacological chemistry at the moment??
i was wondering whether that major is good. i'm interested in more chemistry-related majors.</p>
<p>i want to take the pharmacological chemistry but i don't know how i can change my major</p>
<p>any strong bio/chem/engineer majors?</p>
<p>nearly all bio and engineering majors are strong, i dont kno much about chemisty majors, but i would assume that they are pretty good too</p>
<p>oops i meant non- bio/chem/engineer haha</p>
<p>Bioengineering is definitely the flagship of UCSD's Jacobs. That's not to say that the rest of the majors offered by Jacobs aren't amazing, because they are, specifically CS and EE IMHO.</p>
<p>Yeah. BioE is def the biggest thing at UCSD. CS and EE are pretty good too. But also, our Mech Engineering as well as other engineering fields are all ranked fairly high too (top 20). so that's not bad at all.</p>
<p>again, anybody knows about the anthropology department?</p>
<p>does that mean in BioE it's going to be hard to get good grades? i'm basing this off as studying a lot but still hard to manage 3.7+</p>
<p>UCSD's political science department is superb. It currently houses one of the only political scientists named to the Academy, and has about 5 of the world's most famous political scientists otherwise.</p>
<p>Over at econ, you get probably the best time series people in the world, and one of the top 3 econometrics programs overall.</p>
<p>One department that is often overlooked is UCSD's Theatre and Dance department, which is supposed to be like 3rd in the nation (graduate program, I'm assuming?).</p>
