The number of bizarrely specific majors offered, entirely a factor of marketing by the department and college, is ridiculous. Many represent weirdly specific vocational tracks, such as music therapy for the elderly (I’m just making that up here to fit the example), as opposed to more basic groupings such as music in general.

Also, departments that have made their subjects miserable to study, such as English, are often fracturing into ever smaller departments as the number of students majoring in their subject shrinks.
