Major: Anthropology (This Major's Salary over time)
I'm about to graduate from Pitt, and overall my experience here has been wonderful. Though the school isn't perfect, there is a real sense of community here combined with great academics that makes it a nice place to be, even if you're like me and coming from out-of-state. Academics - I can't speak for the other schools, but Arts & Sciences is great overall, and I've found Anthropology to be an excellent major with a good selection of classes. Teachers are a mixed bag, but I've had some absolutely brilliant professors (highly recommend David Montgomery), and the department is great about hosting events, lectures and socials. Anthropology professors have written renowned books, dissertations and done extensive fieldwork and archaeological digs. There's tons of opportunities for student-faculty fieldwork, internships and help finding graduate programs. As you move up in the major you'll take less huge lectures with lots of freshmen and more intimate seminars, which are the cream of the crop in the Anthropology department.
