I have run into this post of "Post-Apocalyptic Survival Studies (PASS) on the Oakland University website.

Spoiler
which's an April's Fool joke
.
It inspires me to wonder what degrees will be more useful during an apocalypse and rebuilding society, which includes but not limited to:

Useful from the Beginning
  • Biology+Botany: For animal behaviors (hunting), finding edible plants and herbs.
  • Engineering (Civil, Mechanical & Electrical): Building shelters, water and waste management, dealing with electronics and anything that can move
  • Emergency & Disaster Management: Apocalypse is an ongoing emergency & disaster
  • Sports Science: To maintain physical fitness so you'll have more survival chance
  • Public Health: Diseases has always been a major cause of fatality. The important thing is to prevent anyone from getting ill.
  • Geography: Map reading will be useful in an age without GPS. It's important to take account of our physical environment.
  • Meteorology: Weather knowledge and prediction for sailors, fisherman, hunter/gatherers and farmers is important.
  • Food Science: food preservation, community nutrition & medical nutritional therapy
Rebuilding the Society

  • Agriculture: We may need to re-invent agriculture revolution.
  • History, Political Science & Economics: To learn from our past and rebuild the future
  • Law: What rules do we want to have for our new society?
  • Education: We want to spread our knowledge to others. Early intervention is especially importance for children with special need.
  • Journalism and Communication: Mass Media has returned.
  • Nursing: Care for old and ill people, public health
  • Social Work & Counselling: For helping people deal with loss and changes.
  • Language & Literature: Our link to the world and our past.
