I never had to do that, so I can't say. I would contact the professor directly and work something out.
yomino,
I don't think that you should be so much concerned with career options as intellectual interest. If you spend your time at UCLA worrying only about career options, you're going to be pretty darn miserable in class. However, I think that poli sci is an excellent and logical compliment to econ. As for the double major, you may want to see how many units you have available to you and do a prospective future schedule to see if you can handle the courses you throw at yourself. It's doable, but it would be busy for sure.
Yams,
I enjoyed CAPPP quite a bit. I did my research on Japanese security policy and its bid for a permanent seat on the UNSC. Most of my research was journal-based, but I did interview quite a few experts on the subject while I was there (ranging from professors to journalists.)
I loved it and fell in love with DC-- I hope to go back this year after I finish up my MA. Good luck getting in! |
