<p>It depends on what you want to do with your degree. Most grad programs don’t care much about your undergrad degree title, as long as you have significant work in the field you’re interested in (e.g. Harvard offers a “government” degree, but it’s 99% the same as most other poli sci degrees.) </p>
<p>And no, learning Italian is not a hindrance. It’s not as high demand as Chinese or Arabic, but if it’s your passion, go for it. Italy’s plenty interesting a place to study, as far as poli sci goes. Especially for multi-party politics and coalition politics. :)</p>
