<p>go back to psych? just kidding lol. but i was in the same boat- don't want med, don't want math/science/engineering, don't want to go really north campus... which left psych.
however, you've got about all of north campus open to you...</p>
<p>Your are misinformed. Although going to law school is the standard and recommended procedure there are schools that offer alternative ways to get your law degree faster. Today There are schools that offer 4 year programs. There use to be 2 year programs.</p>

<p>Do you have a link to these? In order to practice law you must be admitted to the bar. In order to do this you have to graduate from an ABA approved law school</p>

<p>Let me tell you something as a UCLA poli sci grad. Econ may be a dime a dozen, but employers still love it. It's that simple. People may say that there are too many MBAs/econ/accounting grads out there, but they're all crazy. Fortune 500s are still chock full of these "cookie cutter" types.</p>
<p>Global studies can be good and useful, but don't overlook the importance of a firm education in quantitative methods.</p>
<p>I totally agree. Sorry I did not mean to put down Econ but instead to give some insight on global studies. You are very right about the importance of quantitive methods which is why if you are a global studies major you should do an emphasize on econ and add a minor in math or statistics. Question Ri:
I got into berkeley today as a interdisciplinary major (Basically I get to make my own major with help from berkeley advisors). This is personally my favorite type of major and they allow me to pick 1/3 of the classes from Haas business school if I want. I know UCLA has a program like this for honors students (which I got pre-accepted for) do you know any one at UCLA who has gone this route and how do they like it? I think it sounds awesome but it depends how much they limit me. I rather go to UCLA because my father is getting older and although I will not live with him I would like to be close to him.</p>

<p>As the onslaught of globalization further tightens its grip on nations Global studies will be an increasingly important field. Majors like Global Studies are the wave of the future. Most people do not work in their undergrad fields anyway, except for maybe engineering.</p>
<p>Ri... heh. My name is actually Ari. But that's neither here nor there.</p>
<p>I don't know anyone at UCLA who did it, but I do think that it's doable. I did the honors program, but it sounds doable.</p>
<p>I want to major in Global Studies as well, especially because it requires classes from different fields. The OP seems to be leaning on the business path, while at first I was going to be a poli sci major. Looking at the requirements, minoring/double majoring in poli sci would fit well with GS. :)</p>
<p>To me, it seems like a good major but totally depends on what you do with it. There are lots of research opportunities with Global Studies and as someone said, studying abroad would be awesome. Plus, I want to master another language so right now, I'm pretty excited to be in this major.</p>
<p>PS. An added bonus is that poli sci classes are so hard to get in -___-</p>
<p>This topic still interests me, and maybe now I'll be able to get the feedback of students who have been taking it since September. :)</p>
