Date: Jan 14 2005 Major: (This Major's Salary over time) UVA is one of only a handful of schools (about 13) in the nation that offers an undergraduate degree in urban planning. This had a very relevant and direct impact in getting my current job. Looking back, being a big-city person, I was never too fond of life in Charlottesville and its celebration of the Southern heritage, or the dominance of the greek system in social scenes. However, the campus is undeniably gorgeous, and the overall "bang for the buck" provided by the school, especially for in-state students, is hard to match.
