I'd say it's more dependent upon the faculty and students you learn from/with than the subject you're studying. Your classes could be led by lazy, incompetent instructors and filled with dull students who are all just looking for "job security and decent benefits" (barf). On the other hand, there's a chance you could meet your future business partner while being taught by an inspiring professor.

Every class is a gamble unless there's some reliable evaluation system available. But if you think students are actually capable of rating teachers in any meaningful way, think again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Fox_effect
