<p>Well, I've given up on trying to talk myself out of being a Classics major because its "not practical". Its what I love doing at this point, so I'm sticking with it. However, I am curious if there are any majors that work well in a double major with Classics? I do not plan on getting my PhD in Classics, might go into law school or maybe to get an MBA, so are there any majors that would be beneficial to me in this? I'm open to any suggestions, like really, ANY suggestions.</p>
<p>If you want an MBA, do business. If you want law, you have a few more choices, but things like Philosophy, Political Science, History, and English are favorites for litigators. </p>
<p>Then again, though, a Classics/Philosopy major doesn't seem suited to do more than sit and think. Haha. Good luck. If you want to be even more practical, throw in a minor, maybe a language.</p>
<p>you can get an MBA or JD with any undergraduate major.</p>
<p>MBAs or JDs just look at your GPA and your test scores for the GMAT and the LSAT.</p>
<p>I mine you can be an engineer and get a MBA, just ask CalX, he did it.</p>

<p>Not at all true of MBA programs, at least the top ones. As far as law schools go, yes, GPA and LSAT is most of the application.</p>
<p>If you are interested in business, take a few econ classes and perhaps a few business classes if your school offers them. Consider political science classes and philosophy classes as well. Just take whatever interests you. Take a few logic classes, as they will make you smarter.</p>
<p>Roark, good for you for sticking with what you love. There is no need to compromise, to the contrary. You will do better in your studies if you focus on a subject you love, go further, and besides Classics is a well, classic major that will help you broaden your perspective.</p>
<p>Take the same aproach with your minor: what other subjects do you love? Poli Sci, Psych, Soc? The doors for law school and MBAs is still wide open.</p>
<p>However, you'll need to have a basic but solid quantitative base: Math and stats will cover it. One or two econ classes is enough for an MBA, maths and stats are more important.</p>
<p>What school are you headed to?</p>
