If Every College Major Was A Broadway Musical

Would vocal performance be "Phantom of the Opera" or "A Chorus Line"? Who knows?

There’s been a trend of “if every college major were _”, and I’m so on board. Those are the kinds of articles I pull up on my phone at two in the morning, in the middle of stress-writing a big paper that’s due the next day. Only at two the morning do I have such a desperate need to know exactly what Starbucks drink my majors would order, or what Zodiac signs are most likely to be in each class.

So, here’s one for everyone else who needs a little break, be it in the middle of the night or just something to get you through the class you’re sitting in. I've yet to see one about Broadway musicals that had a wide variety of majors and musicals from different decades, so here goes! Hopefully, you’ll even be able to find your new favorite musical.

Art – The Lion King

Dance majors might see themselves reflected in this musical about a young boy who abandons boxing for ballet.

Music Performance – The Sound of Music

Pretty self-explanatory, this musical is a must for any music performance major to see.

Astronomy – Rocky Horror Picture Show

This musical is about aliens, and if you ever need to watch something even more confusing and mind-blowing then your astronomy homework, this is the one for you.

Biology - Cats

Take a break from studying animal cells and watch a group of people dressed in cat costumes for a few hours, instead.

Chemistry - High School Musical

Maybe you can answer Taylor’s scholastic decathlon questions before she can.

Math – Urinetown

Urinetown makes fun of the legal system, capitalism, social politics, and bureaucracy, all things that you get to avoid because you’re a math major. Just sit back and enjoy this one, you deserve it.

Psychology – Evita

Psych majors love to study how people grow, and this transformation as Evita grows from a preteen, scared girl to a strong young woman is stunning.

Statistics – Man of La Mancha

This musical follows two tax collectors as they accidentally end up in the middle of a Don Quixote play.

Environmental Science – Little Shop of Horrors

Just in case you were in the mood for a musical about a bloodthirsty plant, here you go.

Accounting – 42nd Street

This musical explores the consequences of trying to fund a show during the height of the Great Depression.

Entrepreneurship – How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying

The title says it all – but don’t worry, entrepreneurship majors, we know you’re trying.

Marketing – Kinky Boots

Proof that changing the way you advertise and what your company decides to sell can turn around any business.

Engineering – Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

I mean, come on, they build a flying car! How cool is that? Also, you’re an engineering major. I’m sure you’d love to just sit and watch a kid’s musical for a while.

Computer Science – Avenue Q

There’s a handy-dandy song in this one that’ll tell you exactly what the internet is supposed to be used for.

Classics – Hercules

Oh, who am I kidding? If you’re a classics major, you probably have all of Hercules memorized already, no matter how inaccurate it is.

Education – Annie

Even if you’re not planning on teaching kids as young as Annie, she’ll melt your heart in no time.

English – West Side Story

West Side Story not only talks about culture clashes, language, and immigration, but it’s also based off of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”

History – Hamilton

An easy comparison to make, since this musical is based is based on accurately portrayed American history.

World Languages – Les Miserables
Hopefully, even non-French majors will enjoy this one.

Political Science – 1776


A fun, light-hearted musical about the year the Declaration of Independence was signed.


Religion – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat


Need I say more?

Sociology - Chicago



Though perhaps relating a bit more to the criminology field, this musical focuses on prison and just how far people will go and why when they lie.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
