Communications, Leisure Arts, Women Studies.
 
Basket-weaving actually has more smarter people than Leisure Arts, I believe.
 
The smartest people choose the field they are most interested in, simple as that.

I fully disagree Leisure Artists are much smarter than Basket-weaving majors, consider the difference between the classes Pool Party Planning 312 and Current Events in Baskets (BSW 314). The evidence speaks for its self.

The smartest people are the ones who go to the majors where the other smart people don't go, so obviously it's got to be politics, climatology, and business.

Fungineering. You need a degree to be a successful fungineer.

Engineering, Mathematics, Linguistics. Many other fields are various blends among these three. What students pick and what they succeed may not always be the same.

What about computer science?

I was once enrolled in a course called the "History of Furniture", which I never attended. But I have come to believe that the best minds usually become Furniture Historians.
