Hello! I was admitted to HSS, and I"m almost certain I will be attending CMU this fall! But I’m slightly worried because it’s such a sciencey school and I don’t know if I will have the same opportunities/resources to explore my major…

I was accepted as undeclared, but I’m really interested in international relations and business. If I decide to pursue a major in international relations, how hard/easy will it be for me to find internships, jobs both during and after my undergrad years? I know CMU is very highly ranked in terms of prestige but the impression I have is that a lot of it comes from the science and the arts program there. Will this kind of degree be as valuable as any other from CMU?

Also, is it possible to somehow do both international relations AND business? I do realize that the latter is probably for people admitted to Tepper, but I’m still interested.

Thanks!
