History BA versus Liberal Studies BA
#11
Quote:At the Undergrad level I don't think a History major is going to wow a prospective employer any more than a Liberal arts major.

My reasoning behind selecting History over Liberal Arts isn't so much that my employer will be wowed by my selection of major but more so that my employer will be familiar with what it is. When I think of liberal arts as a major it makes me think of the AA you get at community college and use to transfer into a 4 undergrad year program. You know, less explaining.
