<p>Hi guys, I plan on double majoring in Russian/Slavic Area Studies and Government. I just realized that I can only put one of them on the application and was wondering which one I should put on it. I am equally interested/passionate in both. I want to double major in these two majors with the goal of ultimately becoming a diplomat.
Here are some of my main ECs (ones that I think are related to these majors), maybe one major is more related to them than the other.</p>
<p>-president of world affairs club
-president of STAND anti-genocide student coalition
-secretary of the Politics, Economics, and Philosophy club
-citizen journalist writing about international politics
-varsity foreign extemporaenous speaking team</p>
<p>I know this may seem like a weird question- thanks in advance for your help and advice.</p>
<p>If you applied at CALS, this article Enrollment</a> Options: Double Majors and Minors would help.

Declaring a Second Major</p>
<p>CALS students can declare a second undergraduate major as long as both majors are within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Interested students should contact the department of interest in order to discuss requirements and identify a second faculty advisor. Students must complete the requirements set forth by both departments in order to graduate with a double major. It is the student’s responsibility to keep both faculty advisors informed of course enrollments. In addition, when filing the Application to Graduate, it is the student’s responsibility to obtain signatures from both faculty advisors in order to graduate with a double major. </p>
<p>Students wishing to remove a second major from their record need to speak with Adrienne Wilson in the CALS Registrar's Office, 140 Roberts Hall.</p>

<p>But anyways, for the application, I would just indicate just one major, and then in your essay - talk about how you would REALLY want to dual major. That should interest you and get you accepted.</p>
<p>Provided you have the essay to back it up, I would indicate Russian/Slavic Studies, simply because it will stand out more. Then I would suggest a general interest in government/international relations in your essays as well.</p>
<p>Actually, I was always under the impression that there was a Russian/Slavic Area Studies Major at Cornell after seeing it listed on collegeboard's Cornell page. However, I've looked through the majors/departments pages on the Cornell website, and I don't see any such major. Hmm this is disappointing... Does anyone know if this major actually existsor not? I feel stupid. Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>There is a Russian major.</p>

<p>Here are all of the courses that fall under the Russian/Slavic department:</p>
<p>Courses</a> of Study 2008-2009: College of Arts and Sciences</p>
<p>And your Slavic interests would be found under the auspices of the European Studies Concentration:</p>
<p>Institute</a> for European Studies - Academics - European Studies Minor</p>
<p>There will also be courses in the history, government, and other departments across the university. Honestly, at most schools --even at say Berkeley or Harvard -- the major will turn into a directed study.</p>

<p>I'll note that Cornell's German Studies program is especially strong. A former girlfriend of mine was a Russian/German double major and found Cornell to be a great place for language/area study.</p>
