What is considered the "best" social science stream? (i.e. Anthropology, Health Studies, Geography, etc.)

Instead of asking that, you should be asking what social science stream do you prefer the most and beleive that you will have an interest in so that you'll do good in it.

What is the best number?

I totally just read "Soial Science Dream" and thought someone was going to start telling us about a dream they had about the Mac Soc. Sci. detartment.

Physics

i know i'm bias and all, but i'm gonna have to go with social work, it's multidisciplinary, it's a nice and small program, you get hands on experience, and you also combine your social work degree with a BA. you're also able to learn from a bunch of social sciences and be able to apply it, which is really sweet also. also a bonus to call your profs by first names. on the other hand: i'm not so thrilled with sociology (my BA), don't like the large class sizes and i wasn't being challenged enough, but there is a variety of different subjects in sociology, so you're able to pick and choose what you're interested (health, education, gender, social psychology, deviance, etc). i've also really been impressed by the few health studies courses i've taken.

I think there are roughly eight million people here in Psychology, so people seem to like that one a lot. There's really no "best" Social Science program. There isn't really any judging inside the faculty about which specific program you're in. They're all really different, so there are tons of options. Whichever one you like best is the best stream.
