<p>I love languages. Its the one topic I've ever been passionate about. I studied Chinese and Arabic next year (loved Chinese, hated Arabic), speak Spanish and Hebrew, and want to take either Japanese or Russian next year. BUT, I don't want to just major in language. I'm already planning on majoring in Chinese as a second major but want a primary major that will really anchor me. I have no interest in teaching a language after college. Ive been planning on majoring in Int'l Studies, but looking through the classes, it just sounds dreary to me. I'm very interested in the foreign cultures but not that interested in a class with hours upon hours of reading and essays, I thrive in classes with regular tests and more concrete assignments. Any advice?</p>
<p>why not try it and see whether or not you like it first. im sure you can change around if you become disinterested.</p>
<p>Does your college have an international relations major? Relations is more politically based than studies. That said, any language is an excellent double major. Popular choices are political science, international relations, and any business major.</p>
<p>I’ve tried it for a year so I kind of know how I feel. No, my college only has IAS. Poli Sci is a bit too technical and business is too mathy. The nice thing about IAS is I’d only need one class a semester to get the major. hmm.</p>
<p>Do you have area studies or anthropology? Those are also common double majors with languages. And even though the classes sound dreary for international studies, you never know for sure until you dabble in at least a couple!</p>
