Ask a Haas Senior anything.

I am senior double majoring in Political Science and English. My grades are pretty good overall- a 3.9 GPA, and I’ve held several high-caliber political internships (Office of Governor Jerry Brown, Department of Justice, among others)

While I absolutely love politics, I’ve becoming increasingly interested in pursing a business career in the near future. I’m particularly interested in consulting.

I feel I’ve made a huge mistake by not majoring in Business Administration. I recently took both Econ 1 (Olney) and UGBA 10 for fun, receiving As in both courses. Looking back, I feel I could have definitely taken on the business major.

My main question: Is it possible for me to crack a career in business with a liberal arts degree? Do you know how I would go about doing it?

Thank you so much

(I am, however, strongly considering law school. From there, I would pursue a career as a corporate litigator)
