[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. Huge red flag [/quote] Yep. Any college that charges you private school fees MUST allow you to pick any major. Don't think Pomona is worth the $$ if one of their top majors is not guaranteed.[/quote] I can't imagine this won't become a growing issue at these liberal arts colleges. They've been able to hire armies of Econ faculty who can merge with political science, minority studies, and history departments, but CS faculty tend to do one role. When you're a liberal arts college and 1/4 of your graduating class is in CS, and with how slow hiring occurs in higher education, I can't imagine how many alternatives faculty tried before landing on this decision. There's also not many jobs a CS major can get that an applied math major can't, and their math major is handling demand fine as the third most popular major from knowledge.[/quote]
