<p>So im not a math/science guy, which means I'm already condemned to a life of poverty, which is ok cause I've already developed a taste for ramen haha. But in all seriousness, I'm very interested in Political Science, but i know that major doesn't get one far with only a BA, so I've been looking into some other options. They include; Global Affairs, Public Health, and Public Policy. These majors seem to have elements of Political Science, yet also have a direct application to certain careers. What are your opinions of these majors? Would you recommend any schools for these majors? Im a solid B student with a very challenging course load and a 2100 sat.</p>
<p>My kid went to Dickinson and double majored in Political Science and Policy Studies. She got a good job as an analyst for a company (lots of research, editing, surveying, etc.) type work, and has moved up a couple of levels as a manager. Her boyfriend double majored in Econ and Policy Studies, and he works for one of the big consulting companies. So one thing to think about is that you can double major.</p>
<p>Non-science majors in terms of typical math requirements (other than for general education requirements):</p>
<p>Economics: frosh calculus and introductory statistics (pre-PhD students need substantially more)
Business: frosh calculus and introductory statistics (quantitative finance students need substantially more)
Most other social studies: introductory statistics or a major-specific quantitative methods course
Philosophy: none, but philosophy courses require logical reasoning (note: so do the LSAT and law school)
Music: none, although strong music skill and strong math skill seem to be correlated
Other humanities and arts: none</p>
<p>If you are willing to take frosh calculus and introductory statistics, you should have more majors and career paths to choose from.</p>
