[quote=Anonymous]Given how small these LACs are, the total number of students affected is still relatively small. Based on this article, around 15 years ago, 7 students wanted to major in cog sci and last year it increased to 23 students. I guess now there are a few more who enjoy the subject and want to major in it.

Seems like Pomona could just solve the problem of mismatch of supply and demand by following Pitzer's lead and restricting their cog sci major to Pomona majors alone. Currently, Scripps, CMC and Mudd students can also major off-campus in cog sci at Pomona (but not Pitzer). Pitzer takes care of its own students, seems like Pomona should do the same.

I think as small colleges in the 5Cs can't field fully staff every departments in every subject, the future may bring more of this. More majors following Pitzer's lead of limiting that to only their own students. And less cross-majoring and cross-registering will be available across the 5Cs unless space allows (which here it doesn't).[/quote]
