International Relations has been an excellent major at Tulane for a very long time. The good thing is that it can be a great preparation for graduate studies – with its emphasis on statistics and economics in addition to comparative politics and international affairs – while many people also use the major as part of a good prelaw program. (Although I would recommend supplementing the major with a couple of courses in philosophy and/or logical reasoning as preparation for the LSAT and law school itself.). You are also required to focus in on a foreign language for the major, and in support of that requirement I strongly recommend spending some time studying abroad during your junior year through Tulane’s very well-established junior year abroad program. One final thought: if your motivation for choosing Tulane would be predominantly the money, I would think about it very seriously because the school works best when students are happy to be there and are comfortable with their choice on all levels. There is a reason why it is consistently ranked as having the top 10 “happiest” students in the country. In any event, best of luck with whatever you choose!
