<p>Hi, I am an anthropology major at a well regarded college. What I really want to do someday is get a job dealing with International development in some way. In order to help me prepare for this, I am planning to go to grad school for either International development or development sociology. Most likely International development because I view it as more practical (though I'm a little nervous that I might be stigmatized for "studying agriculture"). </p>
<p>I assume economics would be good coursework to help me prepare for this, but being a sophomore, I don't have enough time for a business minor. My other two thoughts are to minor in Science and technology studies or to minor in administrative science. </p>
<p>Administrative science would allow me to get a good understanding of business, which I would think would help me prepare for an international agriculture MPS program. Even if it wouldn't it would definitely be practical for my career goals and would incorporate two economics courses.</p>
<p>Science and Technology studies on the other hand would be more beneficial for getting into a development sociology program I would think. I'm not sure how beneficial it would be for an international Ag MPS. However, it definitely wouldn't give me the business insight and wouldn't incorporate economics. I could always take a few economics courses on the side though.</p>
<p>What do you guys think would be the better option for me? Also, I'm open to other ideas if neither of those sound like good plans.</p>
<p>Also, I'd be happy if you guys could enlighten me a little more about the differences between people entering the IARD graduate program and the DSOC one.</p>
