<p>If you are in CAS, you don’t have to declare any major until the 2nd semester of your sophomore year. So if you possibly have interest in CS, definitely take an intro programming course your freshman year. The IR minor is actually decently intense at 9 classes. German took me 7 classes, though the minor itself is 4. However, I started the language from scratch so I needed 7. IR with govt/econ as majors isn’t an intimidating because of overlapping requirements. I think the average minor is probably 4-5 classes (but I’m really making that number up). I think you only need a 4 on AP Econ to place out of intro.</p>
<p>You can only place out of one FWS, so you’ll still have to take 1.</p>
