Possible Double Major: Political Science and Creative Writing

<p>These are where my two main interests lie. I plan on attending law school, maybe going into politics, and, probably writing on the side. Is this a good plan? The following are schools which I am considering. Some of them do not offer Creative Writing as a major, but instead they offer an English major with a concentration in Creative Writing. Anyway, here they are:</p>

<p>American University
Brandeis University
George Washington University
Muhlenberg College
Tufts University
Honors College at the University of Pittsburgh (Already Accepted)
University of Rochester</p>

<p>Would these be good universities at which to double major in political science and creative writing?</p>

<p>English will give you a better all-around literary education than Creative Writing. You'll be a better writer for it.</p>

<p>AU gives me the impression of being very orientated on politics/int'l relations/business and not the liberal arts -at all-. I could be very wrong, and I have nothing to base my opinions on at all besides impressions, but if you are certain you want to study creative writing then I would sway away from AU. </p>

<p>I know UR has a fantastic politics program, and is very undergrad/liberal artsy as well for a university. I can't really speak on any others, although I'm going to Brandeis and I'm going to double major in Comp Lit and Creative Writing. I know they have a good creative writing program. Maybe not like Iowa, or some of the LACs, but still a good program. Plus creative writing is alot what you make of it, it's <em>your</em> talent that you're developing.</p>
