Hey, I'm still exploring my major options. Any ideas on what is the least common major in college? Something that not many people opt for or something that's not so mainstream.
The college majors that are less common typically fall in the humanities, arts and social sciences categories. One major that stands out in this category is 'Boatbuilding and Naval Architecture', which is highly specialized and thus not very common. Another could be 'Renewable Energy Engineering', since it's a newer field and not many colleges offer it as of now.
There are also some niche language and culture programs that are less commonly pursued due to their specificity. Examples would be 'Canadian Studies' or 'Celtic Studies'.
Keep in mind that while these majors may be less common, choosing a major should really come down to your interests and career goals rather than how common it is. These more niche fields certainly have their merits, but make sure they align well with your future plans.
