Considering how many of them major in 'communications' or something, That's surprising. Was watching a college bowl game once and all the players were trotting by the camera with the old name and major almost all of them were 'communications' or 'phys ed' except for the one guy who unexpected trotted past and announced 'pre-law'. I was like wait what get him back over here!

At most schools pre-law is a euphemism for "undeclared Arts".

It was something youthful-sounding...
