Interesting... it's actually listed as "Bachelor of Arts in Law, History, and Culture" Which sounds more like anthropology or something, USC defines as: >This major is designed for students drawn to interdisciplinary study of legal and cultural issues, as well as those who intend to pursue a law degree. It offers students an interdisciplinary education in legal institutions, languages and processes that are central to social, cultural and political developments in the past and present, and play a critical role in shaping our most basic concepts and categories of thought and identity. It combines approaches from history, literature, philosophy, political theory, religion and classical studies to explore the law's position at the nexus of society. The major will help students develop the critical skills of reading, writing and analysis crucial to both a liberal education and the study of law. Students will gain theoretical and analytical perspectives on ethical, political and social issues relevant to law as they explore specific legal issues from a humanistic perspective. And the requirements seem... um, not very comprehensive, to say the least... There's only nine classes required for a major! I just checked my college transcript, because I have it handy, and I required eight classes just for my minor. Is it actually common to have so few classes required for a major? He also has Bachelor of Arts in French Literature Minor in Business Economics

  BAs tend to be a bit more lightweight in terms of major requirements, and well, even among BAs I guess there's lighter and heavier major requirements.

    I think that's really unreasonably "lightweight" as far as calling it a "major," that's a minor level of education at the most. I really hope colleges aren't routinely giving out "bachelors" degrees for such a small amount of education.
