Can I join both CCIB and Chicago CCIHE at the same time?

I know basically nothing about banking or consulting, but I’ve spoken to a few CIR students in the classes that I’ve had with them. It seems like CIR places fairly well within the private sector: [CIR at a Glance | Committee on International Relations](http://cir.uchicago.edu/page/cir-glance). Then again, there are people doing joint CIR/ MBA degrees and I would assume that they make up most of the banking/ consulting placements.

However, tuition is expensive and I doubt they give any funding to undergrads. You also have to consider that you’ll be required to write a master’s thesis in 1 year, on top of your undergraduate workload. If you’re just interested in IR you could probably just take a lot of IR/PLSC classes in the college that count as CIR classes (I’ve taken two of those already as a first year). It might not be worth the extra money and workload to get a master’s degree in IR if you’re purely interested in business.
