Very silly to eliminate majors unless students simply aren't enrolling


English, philosophy, history, etc. may not be commonly used bachelor level degrees but they are extremely common for people going on to graduate and post graduate work in law, teaching, etc.

This is another great example of a debate that I bring up on the lounge frequently: education vs. training. "Job prospects" are up to the individual. If you want training for a job go into a trade or a technical school. If you want to be educated, enroll in a university. It's just that simple.
