Are you a Leslie Knope? A Tom Haverford? Or are you a Gary, Larry, Jerry, Terry Gingrich/Gergich? Now is the time for you to find out!
Leslie Knope - Double Major in Political Science and History w/a minor in Women's Studies
Leslie is one of the most passionate people you will ever meet in the government. She graduated from IU with a masters in History, which is probably why she knows everything about Pawnee history. She also cares about women's equality and involvement in the world. (an example is the Pawnee Goddesses).
Ron Swanson - Double Major in Architecture and Engineering w/a minor in Philosophy
Ron is a handy man and is able to build or fix anything quickly and using any kind of material around him. He is the true definition of a Handy Man. However, he also has a soft side that gives out wisdom from time to time to those in need.
April Ludgate -Veterinary Science w/a minor in Chemistry
April doesn't care about a lot of things, but if there are two things she cares about, it's Andy and Animals. She also enjoys blowing things up and causing destruction, so a minor in chemistry is just what she needed.
Andy Dwyer - Criminology w/a minor in Music
Even though Andy doesn't make it as a real cop, his detective skills live on through his character Bert Macklin, FBI. On the side, you can also find him rehearsing and writing songs with the famous Pawnee band, Mouse Rat (did you hear they got a Gold Record)?
Tom Haverford - Business
Tom tries to make money any way he can. Some of his business ideas were: Entertainment 7 Twenty, Rent-a-Swag, and Tommy's Bistro. Even though he has all these business ideas, though, he somehow always finds himself broke and searching for another business motif.
Jerry/Gary/Larry/Terry Gergich/Gingrich - Undecided
No one calls Jerry by his real name (Gary) until the end of the show. Seriously, do I have to say anything else?
Donna Meagle - Fashion/Interior Design
Donna is a fabulous human being who prides herself in her looks and the fancier things in life. It's only fitting that she works in the fashion and design industry because let's be real, have you seen her Mercedes? And how about her hair? Just fabulous.
Ann Perkins - Nursing w/a minor in Pharmacy
Ann is the quirky best friend of Leslie Knope that never seems to know what she wants out of life. However, she is a fantastic nurse and is always able to help anyone who comes her way and prescribe them the proper medicine and care.
Ben Wyatt - Accounting/Finance w/a minor in Math
I have never seen someone who loves math and Finance more than Ben Wyatt. He's constantly helping people with their money troubles, solving math equations, and cracking Accounting puns (which this guy thinks are always hilarious).
Chris Traeger - Excercise Science w/a minor in Nutrition
Chris takes pride in his body and health an takes multiple supplements and vitamins every hour of every day. He jogs 15 or more miles a day and plans to live till he's over 100. How is he a budget fixer and not a nutritionist?
Jean-Ralphio Saperstein - General Studies
Jean-Ralphio has no idea what he's doing with his life, so he just decides to try a little bit of everything. It's like the best of both worlds.
Joan Callamezzo - Telecommunicaitons/Journalism
Joan is a journalist who hosts a news show called "Pawnee Today." She prides herself in discovering the correct information and finding all of Pawnee's hidden stories.
Councilman Jamm - Dental Studies w/a minor in Sports Administration
From what I observe, no one likes Jamm and he doesn't like anyone. However, he's always concerned with keeping peoples teeth clean. He also believes he's a pro golfer and has the whole get up...even though he only goes mini golfing.
Tammy Two - English/Literature w/a minor in Biology/Anatomy
Tammy is the local librarian and can read people like a book, especially men. Why a minor in Biology and Anatomy? Let's just say she loves exploring the human body and knowing about all of its functions.
Mona-Lisa Saperstein - Theatre/Dance/Performing Arts
She's dramatic, loves to dance, and sings a lot (even though most of the time it's her being totally off key and riffing everything). She always puts on a show everywhere she goes.
Bobby Newport - Legal Studies...then dropped out
He started out in Legal Studies because he wanted to make his dad proud, but he ended up dropping out because he realized it was harder than he thought it would be, especially since his daddy couldn't buy it for him.
Dr. Saperstein - Pre-Med w/a minor in Early Childhood
He's a great Doctor on the show and everyone loves him, even though he tries to screw over Tom.
Diane Lewis - Education
She's a middle school vice principal and has two messy, but adorable kids. She also seems to take care of Ron better than anyone else. She's caring, but also spunky.
Ron Dunn - Earth/Environmental Sciences w/a minor in Agriculture
"Other Ron" is the complete opposite of Ron. He loves nature, animals, and open toed sandals. He believes that all nature is sacred and must be protected. Not to mention he's a full on Vegan.
Dr. Richard Nygard - Double Major in Psychology/Sociology w/a minor in Therapy
Dr. Richard Nygard is never actually mentioned, but he seems to do great work with Chris on calming down is emotions and working with him to become a happier and healthy person.
Craig Middlebrooks - Speech/Language Pathology w/a minor in Botany
Craig is super caring, and also very loud, which would make him perfect for speech (loud) and also language (because he likes everything to be said and done perfectly and orderly). He also mentions he studied Botany, so of course, I had to include it!
Ken Hotate - Foreign Language w/a minor in Religious Studies
Over the years, he keeps the Wamapoke people's tradition alive and he even still speaks some of their language. This is a man truly passionate about his culture.
Jennifer Barkley - Double Major in Management and Leadership
Jennifer is quick and cunning and accomplishes every goal that she sets for herself. She is a strong leader and can work with anyone at anytime and is always 3 steps ahead of the game.
J.J. - Culinary/Food Service
He's the owner of the notorious "JJ's diner," which according to Leslie has the best waffles on Earth.
*Disclaimer: There are only so many characters on Parks and Rec and so many different college majors. I apologize if you don't see yours, but I tried my best to include a lot of them and make this article fun!*
