"Just an idea, but how about giving a maintenance grant to those doing Science and Engineering subjects. So if you want to study a B.Sc or BEng you get a nice fat grant if you want to do BA, LLB, etc you take a loan. Only trouble is sometime faux Science subjects like Psychology get lumped in with proper science and get awarded B.Sc’s"
Any scientific field whose predictions are precise and accurate enough to get US soldiers to jump from a 15% shoot-to-kill rate (WWII) to 90% (Vietnam) can be considered legit.
Now I'll grant you that definitely psychoanalysis and probably even a lot of clinical methods are bunk, but the hardcore of psychology: behaviorist analysis, cognitive psychology, neuroscience ... this is all very real.
