<p>Does anyone know what are the largest several majors at Yale?</p>

<p>I'm guessing Government or Economics or maybe a pre-med type major.</p>

<p>econ. definitely.</p>

<p>Nope, it's history.</p>

<p>See: <a href="http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W037_YC_Majors.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_public/W037_YC_Majors.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Thanks for the link.</p>

<p>If I'm reading it correctly it looks like econ, then history then pol sci then biology.</p>

<p>No it's history then poli sci then econ. For 07-08, history has 186 senior majors and 172 junior majors for a total of 358. Poli sci has 163 senior majors and 172 junior majors for a total of 335. Econ has 165.5 senior majors and 155 junior majors for a total of 320.5. Unless I'm missing something that makes Econ only third largest.</p>

<p>And all that is without even including history of science under history, which would get you another 68 majors.</p>
