[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's where they stick athletes and admits they made a mistake on who are incapable of the math required for a business or stem major or the writing and research required for a liberal arts major [/quote]

Is that true for all schools?

My daughter is actually really interested in this…[/quote]

A major is usually only 25% of college coursework.  So it doesn't control/dominate the experience.  When people feel concerned about a major, I always suggest dual majoring.

English major counts are declining.  I see Communications, like Marketing, as a more commerce-oriented field, but I believe these topics are worthy of being college majors so I don't think they should be disdained.

I have no association between athletes and Communications.  Only with Kinesiology, P.E. Education, and Sports Management majors.  I learned about kinesiology from watching player bios during games. I associate Communications with women who might otherwise go into English or Marketing.[/quote]
No need to double major, just take courses in other subjects and find the applied ones that'll lead to a job. Major in the fun, coursework in the things that'll get you the job[/quote]
