“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.”

“Great, intimate major that’s underrated. I’m using it as a major for premed. It’s longer than most majors though because they require you to do a concentration which is basically like adding another minor. Professors are very chill and don’t like to be very intense in terms of grades bur you can tell that they’re passionate about what they do.”

“I think it is fun in theory but the career prospects are not great. I would prefer if it was more business based.”
