I know a lot of people in the STEM feilds and yes they do look down on the people graduating with degrees in social science.

Even within STEM there is a heirarchy of what is considered respectable.

I think it should be clear that “liberal arts” doesn’t just mean “art” or the “fine arts” (e.g., painting). It’s a broad term that covers many academic areas (philosophy, history, languages, Classics, social sciences, economics, creative arts, etc.). And frankly, for many schools, the term “liberal arts” includes the STEM courses, so there isn’t necessarily a clear divide. The purpose of a liberal arts college is to provide students with a broad education (as opposed to vocational/technical training for a specific job), with the hope that they learn how to communicate effectively, think critically, formulate arguments, and solve problems.

For example, I went to a small liberal arts college and I didn’t major in a STEM field; but in order to graduate, I still had to take some STEM courses. And students at my college who majored in STEM fields had to take history, philosophy, languages, etc.

There's some friendly rivalry, and humanities and "soft sciences" are sometimes looked down on for being less rigorous, but nothing serious.
