Int'l Studies + Comp Sci Double major?

College Majors
1

<p>Is a double major combining International Studies and Computer Science feasible? I'm legitimately interested in both and would like to pursue a government job (FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, etc.) </p>

<p>My initial ambition is to be an intelligence analyst or an agent (which is where the IS major comes in.) However, failing that, I may be in the dark for a legitimate job. That's where the Comp Sci comes in. I could use that for even more government opportunities or pursuing gainful civilian employment.</p>

<p>I know I can handle a full courseload, my real issue is with the sheer amount of time it might take. Is it possible to combine these majors?</p>

<p>You can combine those two fields, but for government employment, I think they might be more interested in the computer skills. Have you considered computer science with some focus on computer forensics or cybersecurity?
(I don’t know if you’re already in college or still applying, but since you’re in Indiana, you have a choice of two good universities for computer science. Purdue is strong in this field, but the School of Informatics at IU is worth considering, too.)</p>
