Seems to me a waste of time and money for a large portion of the student body. A degree in social activism, really?
“A degree in social activism, really?”
Social activism is a major you can choose, not a degree. You would have to take courses in political science, economics, social engineering, and other related fields. Not to mention the required courses in Math, Statistics, Writing, and other essentials. It's a lot more difficult than just picking one thing to learn and getting a piece of paper for it. A social activist could get a job working for the Child Protective Services, Unemployment Agencies, journalism, or public administration. A major is just something you want to specialize in. The degree would be a Bachelor of Arts or Master of Arts.
