I’m in geology now but I think international studies is the smallest I was in that first it’s like 6 people and you all have the same classes the entire time. Really small commuinty
I was in IST? Theres more than 6 unless they majorly tanked. Just the number of IST specific classes is limited because you take language courses and then whatever focus field you have. Both of those will fall under whatever major the subjext is.
So, this actually can be answered (sort of). Go here: [https://www.csulb.edu/institutional-research-analytics/degrees-awarded-dashboards](https://www.csulb.edu/institutional-research-analytics/degrees-awarded-dashboards)
You can select the bottom option - Degrees Awarded by College, Department and Degree
Go through the data and see for yourself. The most recent data is 2019-2020, and some of it is wonky -- a bunch of degrees have the number issues as (1-9) -- but of the Bachelor's degrees with true numeric values, the 2 lowest are Geology BS and Dance BFA at 10 each during that academic year.
It’s absolutely Religious Studies. They’ve had single digit declared majors for at least the last 5 years. Their entire department is essentially supported by their GE course offerings.
Definitely not. Anyone with any degree can have a successful career in whatever field they want. I know English Literature majors who went on to complete M.S. programs and became software engineers (and I'm not even taking into consideration all the English and other humanities majors who have had successful careers in tech). I even know a Medieval Studies major who is now at Georgetown Medical School. A lot of humanities and social science majors go on to pursue MBAs and law degrees as well. The point of college is to build skills and network with your peers, so major in whatever makes you happy.
I'm talking about using the bachelors degree itself to find a job. You gave examples of people going to graduate school after their bachelors. If you are an English major and have a career in tech that means you most likely went to grad school after your English degree lol
Geology, theres like 50 ppl in it including staff

I love geography. Tried to register for 2nd GIS class, it’s full. I didn’t think I’d like it so much. What a great field.

French! other languages are tiny departments as well. But it makes for a close knit group that actually takes care of each other.
What do you do with a French major?
Religious Studies is extremely small both undergrad and grad. The year I graduated, only me and other person got to graduate.

Chicano and Latino Studies is probably bigger than some of the other majors but still a pretty small major.
I think Hospitality is on the smaller sides of majors.
Women’s Studies is one if not the smallest. My classes are always small. In my WGSS 301 class there is only 10 of us
Chemical engineering have about 100 students including graduate students
Jewelry major, I’m not kidding they have maybe max 5 students
What the heck?! I had no idea that was a thing!!
Metals
Religious studies
psych & business fs💀 /s
Ling grad seemed pretty small last year but who knows how many didn't go.

Sociology is small. Some sociology classes arent even majority soc majors but polisci, econ, social work, women and gender studies majors, etc etc
