Double major - Comm/Poly Sci? Where?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Ok so I'm really interested in either having a double major with Communications and Political Science (or majoring in Political Communication but that is really rare and only on the east coast); and I'm also starting at a community college. So my questions are, is it possible to start the double major from a CC? What are the best colleges to go to for these? My community college has transfer programs/articulation agreements but only with the CSU and UC system and I'm not sure how to pick my classes based on which school to go to. So should I just get all my general ed and go from there? I'm so confused.</p>

<p>Like do I just work my butt off and pick schools I would be able to go to based on grades/gpa after I finish my general ed or what?</p>

<p>Getting a broad base and fulfilling your general ed is a good idea from a CC. Also take classes related to your field to gauge your interest and fulfill those requirements. Check in the colleges you’re interested in and see what they ask of transfer students in that field. With both CSU and UC schools it seems like you have alot of options</p>

<p>That dream would have been more possible and easily obtained if you went to a 4 year college or university. Transferring from a community college with a double major interest will only add more semesters if not years to your undergraduate education.Remember, most of these colleges have freshman and sophomore requirements for a particular major that are not being offered in CC, but you still have to complete them in addition to your junior and senior requirements if you want to graduate with that major.
Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>Go talk with a transfer counselor right away in order to choose your first quarter/semester classes properly.</p>

<p>I agree with ccco2018</p>

<p>My suggestion is to transfer to a university that has a department in both fields. Then just major in one and take classes in the other. You can major in political science, take some classes in communications as electives and still develop the skills you need to get a job political communications.</p>
