<p>Hey Guys. I am just wondering:</p>
<p>I really want to major in finance but I also want to study political science and theology.</p>
<p>Does anybody know if it is possible to study all 3?</p>
<p>Is there a possible minor in poli sci?</p>
<p>I was thinking maybe:
major in finance, 2 minors in poli sci and theo (if possible)</p>
<p>or double major finace and poli sci and minor in theo</p>
<p>or will i have to drop one of these areas??</p>
<p>Finance is in the Mendoza College of Business
Political Science and Theology are in the College of Arts and Letters
There is no political science supplementary major or minor.
There is a Theology supplementary major and minor.</p>
<p>Ok, those are the facts. Now, for the advice.</p>
<p>If you would want to do all three, you would need to satisfy university requirements, and college requirements for both, and get what's called a Dual-Degree, which is totally doable, especially with AP credit and careful scheduling. You run into trouble when it comes to taking all three. Theoretically, it's not impossible, but it might be practically impossible, if you want to graduate on time, take a standard 5 classes a semester, and not do summer sessions. </p>
<p>If I were you, I'd go in with my mind set on 2; finance and something else, because that would require scheduling it as such from the first semester. Then, see if you can't squeeze a Theo minor in somewhere.</p>
<p>Talk to your advisor.</p>
<p>I am a Finance / Econ / Theo, which is almost the same thing. If you have a good amount of AP credits it isn't impossible. There is of course overlap between Finance and Econ but if you take Comparative Politics you can make that overlap into a Business behavioral science requirement as well.</p>
<p>Two THEO's are already required, so it is certainlt not an impossible task. I would also recommend taking a regular set of business classes for your Finance and then take what interests you in the other two fields your first couple of years. Then you can decide if it would be worth the extra credits to get the second or third major. Since Poli-sci and Theo are not really going to help your job prospects significantly (I assume you are doing them because you are interested in them), I recommend seeing how the classes are for you and then deciding later. </p>
<p>If you have questions feel free to PM.</p>
<p>There is a peace studies supplementary major, which is very similar to polysci.</p>
<p>ok, so if i were to double major in finance and political science (which I think is what Brady Quinn did*), I would not have to take more than 5 courses a semester?</p>
<p>*while other star Pac10 players, Matt Leinart and Dennis Dixon, have taken ballroom dancing and billiards, respectively</p>
<p>No, but if you wanted to add Theo, then maybe. Again, it depends on AP credit and different requirements.</p>
<p>Poly sci is a pretty easy major to finish. It only requires 30 credits (for comparison, physics requires 60 and I think engineering might require even more).</p>
<p>I'm doing two degrees in 4 years (Physics with an astrophysics concentration and aerospace engineering), so I think that this combination is most likely quite feasible.</p>
<p>Wow, that is an obscene amount of work. I think I'll stick to the college of arts and crafts.</p>
<p>It's what you're passionate about that defines whether it is work or play.</p>
<p>thats exactly the fields I'm looking at. now lets just hope i get admitted. lol</p>
