<p>Given your interest in speech pathology as a possible area for graduate study, you’re not entirely clear whether a “communication” major refers to a major in communication (rhetoric, mass media, etc.) or communication disorders.</p>
<p>If you plan to pursue speech pathology in grad school, you need to major in communication disorders as an undergrad, and since an undergrad major in communication disorders doesn’t qualify you for clinical practice, you should plan on getting at least a master’s in it. Alternatively, you can major in a related field such as linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, or special ed and get a grad degree in speech pathology but you’ll probably need to make up some of the uindergrad pre-requisites.</p>
<p>If you plan to pursue grad study in comp lit, then you should major in Comp Lit, English, Classics, or a modern foreign language. You also will need to acquire reading knowledge of additional foreign languages.</p>
<p>If you plan to pursue grad study in Art History, then you should major in Art History, History, Classics, or some other humanities discipline with at least a stong minor in Art History. Acquiring a reading knowledge of French and/or German is important plus any other languages relevant to your intended subfield of Art History.</p>
<p>For Law school, you can major in whatever you want, but there probably are better majors for this than the ones you’re considering.</p>
<p>If you want to work in a French-speaking country, you don’t need a minor in French to become fluent or literate in French. You can just learn the language through self-study or other means, including studying abroad in a French-speaking country.</p>
<p>So, I think you need to clarify your interests and goals and re-consider what majors and minors are most relevant to those goals. Of course, professional writing and/or communication are fine majors in themselves, depending what you want to do with them. They’re just not the best for the particular grad school interests you indicated.</p>
