Probably because it makes them feel unique and special. It's a badge they can wear that sets them apart. Nobody really advertises that they're getting a History/Literature or CompSci/Engineering (or some other dime-a-dozen major) degree without being prompted, but I guarantee you that girl that's studying "Oriental Medicine and Horticulture" or that guy that's majoring in "Fermentation Sciences" are going to tell everyone they meet.
