<p>hello all-
i’m very interested in applying to UNC this fall. i am planning to go on the premed track and was looking to apply to top public schools, UNC among others, but wasn’t very familiar with UNC’s strengths. so please help me out by answering the following questions, especially current UNC students:</p>
<li>what are UNC’s strongest programs?</li>
<li>how is premed at UNC? strong or weak? </li>
<li>what do most freshmen study - what are the most popular undergrad majors?</li>
</ol>
<p>I will be attending UNC this fall so I have no first hand experience with UNC's strengths but from all of the research I have done and talking with friends who already go there UNC's strongest programs include business and journalism (it is rated within the top 5 in the country - a major reason why I chose UNC because that is what I want to study) and that a lot of freshman study business. I am sure there are more strong programs within UNC and I don't know anything about their premed programs, sorry, but I hope that helps a little bit. Good luck with UNC and your other chollege choices!</p>

<li><p>journalism, business for undergrad, and i believe for grad school unc is ranked #2 for both primary care and public health (tied with harvard for public health). unc is also very very strong in pharmacy</p></li>
<li><p>this will have to be answered by a current student</p></li>
<li><p>from the unc site: </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Top ten majors (in order of descending enrollment):</p>
<p>Journalism and mass communication
Biology
Business administration
Psychology
Political science
Communication studies
English
Economics
History
Exercise and Sport Science</p>
<p>Pre-Med is very strong at UNC. I have a bunch of friends at UNC who are on the Pre-Med track. Pre-Pharmacy is also very, very good. So are Journalism and Business.</p>
<p>Religious Studies is the highest ranked undergrad department in the school, currently number 3 nationally and always in the top three. Incredible staff credentials, all excellent teachers and some very interesting subjects/classes ie, "Visions of the Apocalypse in Literature and Film" which was a freshman honors class that got my S hooked on the program three years ago.</p>
<p>He is NOT an RS major because of religious beliefs or with an intention of heading to some type of ministry, and in fact, is probably more of an agnostic than anything. Aside from the required classes that often are specific to various religions, many of the classes are more philosophical in nature.</p>
