Cal is a good stepping stone for grad school

</p>
<p>So is UCLA.</p>
<p>PACS is a special major. It may not look the best to interviewers when trying to get the first job. Of course, once you have the first job, it ceases to matter, since all anyone is worried about, is what was your last job?</p>
<p>""I have a dilemma as well
I have a Political Science Major at UCLA
and Rhetoric at CAL and I don't know what to do...
I mean I can always change my major to Poli Sci or Mass Comm at CAL I am not sure what I want yet but.....I want to be a politician WHICH SCHOOL!?!?!?!""</p>
<p>How can you "always change your major to Poli Sci or Mass Comm at CAL?"</p>
<p>Mass Comm is impacted there.</p>
<p>btw how easy is it to switch majors at CAL? I want to switch from Peace and Conflict Studies to Poli Sci at CAL. Apparently Poli Sci isn't impacted at CAL though, so...</p>
<p>Even with the impacted once you are there it is easier to change.
At UCLA Poli Sci is impacted and I was visiting the offices and saw a girl change her major in 5 mins... No questions</p>
<p>wow if it really as easy as you say it is serge...i would def choose uc berkeley and switch to poli sci.</p>
<p>anyone here go to berkeley and know if it would be easy or not??</p>
<p>Hah the saga continues.</p>
<p>kenf1234: Didn't mean to imply that UCLA wasn't a great school (It is most definitely a Great School), just relating that a PACS degree wasn't a disadvantage for grad school for my friend. And once a person finishes a graduate program the graduate school because of primary concern on job applications.</p>
<p>oops. I meant "becomes of primary concern" not "because" in that last post.</p>

<p>I agree with this completely. There was concern about job interviews, I assumed we were talking about right out of college. In that case, I do think that PACS might be a slight disadvantage. Not a huge one, but a slight one.</p>
<p>Yeah I figure: It's not like I applied to UCLA as a Business Economics major and CAL as a Spanish major or something...the two majors I have are kind of similar. I just really hope it would be possible for me to switch to Poli Sci if I go to Berk!!</p>
<p>Remmert- Why didn't you apply as a poli sci major right off? :o</p>
<p>WoT. I'm on the quarter system here at UCSB and I thought I didn't like poli sci -- I never took any poli sci classes till Winter Quarter (starting in Jan). I took an international relations class (and now a comparative politics class) and I LOVEEEEEEE it -- too bad it was after app's were due.</p>
