I know someone who majored in Welsh. At Harvard.

Depends on school (eg institutional strength)

Yale (top degrees): Economics, Comp Sci, Political Science, History

(least subscribed): Earth and planetary Sciences Germanic Literature, Romance Languages & Literature, African American Studies, Women, Gender, and Sexual Studies

Harvard (top degrees): Economics, Government/Poli Sci, Computer Science, History, Social Sciences, and Biology.

(least subscribed): South Asian Studies, Religion, Myth/Folklore, Germanic Language/Studies, African American Studies

As an engineering major, I took a linguistics class.

OMG, it was so interesting. I know people like to put down those kind of majors, but even then I could totally see how some of the things taught in that class could be applied to the technology sector.

Ceramics like materials engineering. Not just pottery

Liturgical Dance
Folklore & Mythology
Ancient Languages (not Latin or Greek)
Geography
Theology/Divinity (not clergy)
Yiddish
Medieval Studies
Kinesiology (not athlete)
Fiber Arts

My kid is going to major in music technology.

Linguistics, classics, French, and urban planning are the 4 our private college counselor suggested. Kid was obviously taking French and Latin.

Germanic or French studies, gender studies, myth and folklore

East Asian studies, urban planning, Spanish or French literature, classics, musicology.

It depends on the school. For example, Georgia Tech recently started an urban planning degree and will no doubt recruit heavily for students who can fill it so it isn't DoA.

Pottery. My cousin not only majored in it, but then got a master's degree. In pottery.

Linguistics

What exactly would be considered a unique or niche major?
