<p>I continue to believe that American Studies, Legal Studies, and to some extent Mass Comm are the most successful majors at Cal at achieving their intended purpose, which - at least for those majors - seems to be to primarily provide a pathway to a degree and relatively strong post-graduation prospects while demanding little effort from the students. Other majors may be just as easy, but provide weaker post-grad prospects, while still other majors, engineering in particular, provide far stronger prospects, but in return for far more work. Still other majors actually seem to aim to teach you a particular discipline (although whether they actually demand the work ethic from the students necessary to truly learn much about the discipline is debatable).</p>
