Representative perspectives
It is a very cross-disciplinary major, including combinations of pure science and social science. The concepts are not hard, and it builds a very general foundation for many aspects of study.
Courses & teaching
I think it is fun in theory but the career prospects are not great. I would prefer if it was more business based.
