What was your college major (and minor, if applicable)? |
|
I majored in Political Science. Because I dropped out of college in 1984 and didn't return until 1994, it was easier credits-wise to just complete a "General Studies" degree, with emphasis on political science, history and administration of justice.
Went on to graduate from law school this year.

15. I was watching the OU/A&M game in a bar several years ago. |
|
It was a close game, and I was seated next to a bunch of OU fans. We all lived in Texas at the time, San Antonio, specifically. Well, OU made a nice play and saved their bacon (I think this was one year they won the championship). The guys at the OU table were celebrating, until I mentioned that regardless of their victory, OU still had to go back to Oklahoma. Even the OU grads thought that sounded like a punishment. :rofl:

4. Health/PE and History with teacher certification. |

I initially though about Political Science, then I found out that that alot of people in that field are petty, self-absorbed douchebags. Also, really corrupt. Of course, I live in Louisiana so it's a given:D .

6. Social and Political Theory |

Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 08:32 AM by MadAsHellNewYorker
Although I technically majored in "Individualized Study." I got to create my own course of study, write a thesis, and defend it in an Oral Exam for 2 hours in front of three professors using 30 different "great works" just prolific books and things that applied to my created major.

8. Joint Honours - Economics and International Relations. |
|
If I were 18 again and making the original choice - I'd have picked pure I.R., but I did enjoy economics too, just would have liked to spend more time on I.R.

19. The University of St. Andrews |
|
founded 1410 (or maybe 1411 nobody's completely sure).
I'm very proud of the usage - one thing I keep finding bemusing about D.U. (and Americans in general) is referring to university as 'school' over here that's exclusively under 18 - I'm getting used to it now though. :crazy:

I remember a thread some time ago about universities we'd like to attend if given a chance; I listed that and Trinity College, Dublin.
We also say "math" and you (and the Indian subcontinent) say "maths."

29. It is one of the most idyllic places to study |

just as long as one stays away from the golfers.
I'm used to the math thing, but it's when I hear a person clearly over 18 talking about going to school, it's just wierd.

32. When I lived in the UK, I got funny looks about that for a while, too |
|
Until I started calling it "uni" instead. The funny thing is, the college where I got my undergrad degree is not, in fact, a university. It only has a liberal arts college, and only issues B.A. degrees, so in effect I was lying. What an evil bastard I am!
Oh, and I have a B.A. in Political Science, with nearly enough credits for minors in Communication, History and English.

Not just for the chicks, either. I genuinely liked what my chem major friend called "applied math." In return, I kidded him about his "applied physics" major.

Then it'll be time to pack up the toys and go home!
I thank you most sincerely for the correction! Of course, estoy!
Yes, it was my minor, and it was 40 years ago, as well....

I'm doing my best to go to law school next fall. I'll also be looking at doing a dual-degree program -- a joint JD and a masters in political science in four years -- once I've completed 1L (and know how much $ I'll have to borrow and whether I can devote that extra year to school).

For awhile I also studied Art History, but that didn't last. Sort of an unofficial minor in Philosophy, and I probably could have gotten some kind of certificate in Religious Studies, but I never bothered to do the paperwork.
...and I wonder why many of my jobs have been driving trucks and hanging drywall and stuff.

The minor is because I started out in that and was one class short of getting the minor before I switched.

Strange undergraduate work for Law School, I know. But it really didn't matter. I wasn't politically informed until AFTER I graduated from Law School anyway.
