It's surprisingly hard to find a detailed by-major breakdown of these numbers. So far, the best I can do is this study based on a “national survey of 1643 (American) faculty members from 183 four-year colleges and universities”  . (I haven't found one for the students.)

Ranking the departments by Liberal minus Conservative percentage margin gives:

1. English Literature (85)
2. Political Science (79)
3. Theology/Religion (78)
4. Psychology (76)
5. Fine Arts (75)
6. Philosophy (75)
7. Performing Arts (68)
8. Sociology (68)
9. History (67)
10. Music (66)
11. Communications (61)
12. Biology (58)
13. Physics (55)
14. Linguistics (54)
15. Mathematics (52)
16. Computer Science (48)
17. Chemistry (35)
18. Education (32)
19. Engineering (32)
20. Economics (16)
21. Business (10)
22. Nursing (6)

So, if this survey is representative, then all of academia is liberal, but the humanities departments are more liberal.
