<p>Can anyone tell me about the following majors at Rice: Political Science, Policy Studies, Economics. How easy would it be to double major? Any information about professors, classes, internships, difficulty, etc. would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>Great question, @FLstudent2014. My ds has the same interests! I will be watching for replies!</p>
<p>It’s pretty easy to double major in Social Sciences and Humanities.</p>
<p>Political Science and Policy Studies are not as popular at Rice as many other schools, partially because of how popular engineering majors are. This doesn’t mean that they aren’t highly-regarded or challenging, though. Economics, on the other hand, is extremely popular. Rice has mostly just “academic” majors (ie chemical engineering, but not petroleum engineering, or economics, but not business). For this reason a lot of people who are entrepreneurial will also major in econ or minor in business in addition to another major. </p>
