<p>I'm interested in careers in management consulting or perhaps public policy. Would it be better to do the Philosophy, politics, and econ major (which I've heard is compared to 3 minors) or a major in polisci with a minor in economics?</p>

<p>the answer: International Relations</p>

<p>It is a mix of politics, economics, history, all with an international bent (which is more necessary now than ever). It is known as more rigorous, in no small part because it requires a year-long senior thesis from all majors (honors or not).</p>

<p>Just compare grad school exceptance, for example for 2008. It says itself.
