Graduate School

<p>As yall know, I have lots of interests but they are somewhat related....Romance Languages, Linguistics, W. Europe....I currently have the following in the works:</p>

<p>Major in linguistics
Cetificate in W. European Studies
Minor in French
BIG MAYBE Minor in Italian
Desires: another study abroad program, more language courses and content courses in the language, internship here or abroad the term after I graduate.</p>

<p>One of my academic advisors suggested my doing an interdisciplinary major because a lot of what I have already done could count towards it and I would cut down my graduation requirments by a considerable amount. I would also be under less pressure as far as having to take certain classes (certain linguistics classes are only offered certain terms and they only have one time slot). </p>

<p>Do you think I should consider this option? WIll grad school admissions look down upon an "interdisciplinary studies" major? I would have to pick a theme in my major, so its not exactly "do whatever" but its still not a cut and dry major.....I am not sure if I want to go to graduate school for linguistics, translation, international relations, or whatever yet....</p>

<p>your undergrad major doesnt have to be the same as your grad school program- i know someone who was an american studies major and is now in med school, a chemistry major who is applying for her phd in psychology, a religion major in law school, and a physical education major getting her msw. </p>

<p>so yeah, major in whatever you're interested in. as long as you have the prereqs/test scores, you wont have a problem.</p>
