How does a double major in Sociology and Mass communications sound?

Question

I am a freshman at the University of California at Berkeley and I was thinking about some majors. I know that freshman dont have to have a major so soon but I really would like to double major in Sociology and Mass communications. At first I wanted to major in Social Welfare but I decided to do something less concentrated. Anyone out there with advice for this 18 year old young woman?

Answer 1

I've always though that Sociology and Communications were the fluffiest of the fluff majors. You are at one of the best universities in the world -- why not challenge yourself?

If I were at Berkeley, I'd take lots of mathematics, economics and classes at Haas. Wait a minute: I was at Berkeley -- and that is what I did!

Seriously -- think about getting into Haas as a junior.

Answer 2

Mass comm is good, we can all use some good PR. Sociology will also give you a good understanding of your audience. Both of these majors will really help in Marketing. my 2 cents.
