<p>if i get into SFS i was probably going to major in international politics. however, am i allowed to double major in something in the general school of studies with say economics?</p>
<p>ok just wondering!</p>
<p>If you attend SFS you will need to complete 4 economics courses anyway as part of the first two years general requirements. Once you are an upperclassman, you will have ample opportunity to obtain at least 2 more economics courses to finish the equivalent of a minor or even 6 more to get the equivalent of a dual major. Also, if you are a typical Georgetown admittee, you will have substantial AP or IB credit to use in gaining more course flexibiliity.</p>
<p>Also, Georgetown requires that you take five courses per term and while the workload is therefore more demanding than at any comparable elite school, these additional classes give you the ability to broaden out your course selections. The five course requirement would be a blessing inyour case with wanting to to complete a dual major.</p>
<p>Also, consider the SFS's Political Economy major which mixes courses from both disciplines in a nunified major at the nexus of politics and economics.</p>
<p>Eh...you don't HAVE to take 5 classes each semester. I only took 4 (12 credits worth) my first semester for various reasons, and while I did get an e-mail from my dean about it, it wasn't a problem or anything.</p>
<p>So basically, you can't officially double-major when you're in the SFS, but you can work around it.</p>
<p>so no double majoring in international politics and economics? darn. well, the econ degree was going to be my back up in case i didnt get into law school or something. oh well.</p>
<p>thanks for the help!</p>
