A degree in Communications or a host of other soft majors is basically worthless. Arguable that 4 years would be better spent elsewhere, not to mention the money that goes into faculty salaries.

A liberal arts degree can be worth it, but only if it is actually a program with effort in it.

This kind of "Stem elitism" that comes up in these threads is really gross.

Not stem specific.

I think this is a decent list of acceptable majors/concentrations (outside a trade specific school perhaps):

That list has a ton of "soft" majors!
