Unique majors thread

<p>As somebody who lives five miles from Bob Jones, I have to defend it. It's a private religious school. You can't lump it with UConn, UPenn, USC, etc. Besides, aren't all Baptists unique? ;) (I can say that. I am one.)</p>

<p>i go to uva and you can make your own major. i know a girl doing "infectious diseases in developing countries." its pretty funny bc you have to have a 3.4 to get into the program, yet the stuff ppl make up is just ridiculous. you would expect that from the.. well.. below 3.4 gpa students.</p>

<p>GWU has a Political Communication major. The discipline is not unique, but at the undergraduate level it is. I thought that was so cool...it would be interesting to study, but about 100000x more interesting for career options.</p>

<p>New Mexico State has a Professional Golf Management program that’s actually considered pretty good. People come from all over the country to major in GOLF!! Great people, I know some of them, but sort of weird to major in golf. </p>

<p>That Suburban studies major that somebody mentioned is at Hofstra University. I looked it up.</p>
