<p>My major is going to be Political Science/International Relations so the first class fits perfectly and I've been planning on that one anyway. However, I have a more than casual internest in film and movies and I have the teacher now for another class and he's great. I'm not using these for credit, I'm just using them to look better and to learn about a bunch of topics my school doesn't have.</p>
<p>Does it matter if I take courses relating to my major even though I'm only a junior? Will the course even help me in the future?</p>
