Technically I'd be a student of Public Administration with a Criminal Justice Policy focus. So I'd probably just tell you all about how your methods are unfeasible.

--- Quote from: clownshoe on 25 Feb 2011, 18:00 ---I would imagine it's more likely that a stats class would be required for criminal justice, even though I think everyone who has a four-year degree should have at least one semester of calculus.

--- Quote ---Note: The successful completion of undergraduate-level calculus and statistics (or validation of proficiency through testing) is required of all LBJ School students prior to enrollment in the quantitative sequence of the core curriculum. Students who have not completed formal undergraduate coursework in calculus and statistics are required to pass validation exams offered by the LBJ School prior to the beginning of the semester. Two separate exams are offered, one on calculus and the other on statistics. Students have to take only the one for which they have not taken an undergraduate course.

No fucking way am I taking calculus. I burned myself out in College Algebra (even though I got an A, somehow). UT Austin seems particularly statistics-focused, so that might be why. John Jay has a stats requirement but not a calc one.

The more and more I think about it, the more I'm thinking that I'll want to go into some sort of english/cultural studies program, or into philosophy, probably philosophy of science. Not going to be right around the corner either way, since I'm definitely going to take at least a year off after I get my bachelors this May, but it's making me conscious that I'll need to keep in touch with a few of my professors, so I'll send off some emails this week, try and schedule a meeting or something to discuss this sort of transition. I have no idea how common or acceptable it is to make that sort of transfer, and I really would like to go into a masters program or something right away, rather than having to deal with getting a second bachelors degree.

I start my second year of uni tomorrow. Everyone I've talked to about it says that histology is such a bitch (8 hrs a week of classes, 50:50 lectures and labs) and totally hard. I'll also be at uni from 9-6 5 days a week, due to these really annoying three hour breaks between some classes. Unlike last year, I won't have to run from the bottom to the top to get to consecutive classes because my classes are all up the top near the Wallace Wurth.
Additionally, hooray for gov't and corporate rebates! In the end the cost of my replacement Mac and iPod is mostly nothing.
