Subject: [tips] Categorizing Psychology as a major

Tipsters: Recently, with the modification of the university web page,
Psychology was moved from its two category status (social science and
science) now to the arts. The rationale, as stated to me, was that it
was more appealing to have an Arts label than Science for 16 and 17 year
old potential students. I personally find this to be the ne plus ultra
example of "selling out." My question to you folks: how is Psychology
classified at your college or university?
