<p>I did a double major in Economics and Government and double minors in International Relations and German Studies. I was quite busy ;)</p>
<p>Econ is a fairly common to double with precisely because it doesn’t have a lot of requirements. In my experiences it seems those that only single in econ and don’t do anything else either 1) Couldn’t decide on a major until very late, so needed a major they could quickly complete 2) Didn’t want to work too hard and only took the bare minimum to graduate. 3) Took a lot more than the 8 classes. I think when I graduated, even with my other stuff, I took 10 or 11 econ courses.</p>
<p>If you got a 5 on AP Lit (or maybe Language or maybe both) I think you can place out of 1 FWS. AP Econ for getting out of the intros can be useful too. Other than that, I didn’t really use any of my AP credit.</p>
