<p>does anyone know what the core curriculm consists of in the CAS? Anyone knows when you can apply to double major, if you had originally chosen just one major?
Thank you!!!</p>
<p>someone younger can answer this better–I’m old and have different core requirements.</p>
<p>But, this should help: <a href=“http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/courses/cat0910-026-039.pdf[/url]”>http://www.northeastern.edu/registrar/courses/cat0910-026-039.pdf</a>

<p>You can apply to double major at any time. I’d suggest starting in one major until you know for sure that you want to double, no need to rush it. Take a course or two for your expected double major and then decide later on. A lot of people come in thinking double major or minors are worth the time, but most of them don’t end up doing it… I only know a few people who stuck with it through graduation.</p>

Thank you!! I’m an international, and was accepted EA! I applied for PoliSci… I know the faculty is really good, but I may double major in PoliSci and Economics or PoliSci and Intern. Affairs… what do you think is better? just want to have an insight of the CAS, u know… thank you!!</p>
<p>I’m a freshman, undeclared, going to declare International Affairs. And all the majors you want to double major in have dual majors, which make it easier to fulfill the requirements. I highly suggest (in fact demand, haha) that you take Globalization and International Affairs with Professor Denise Horn. It is an incredible course, especially if you’re interested in International Affairs. And I know for my International Affairs major, I have to take Comparative Politics and either Macro or Microeconomics. So since all those are closely related, I suggest you decide which route to take after you’ve taken a couple of courses :)</p>
<p>^Oh yay blinkangel, you’re my major! Can you tell me anything specific about it and anything about the honors program? How is IA there? I haven’t really heard anything about Northeastern and IA. How does it enhance your learning? Are there special things honors kids get to do that regular kids don’t get to besides living in the honors dorms? I want to know anything and everything! lol</p>
<p>^Hey! I’ve gone into more detail about the honors program in some other posts, so you can look there and let me know if you have any questions!</p>
<p>I love IAF at Northeastern. Globalization & International Affairs with Denise Horn is definitely the best class I have ever taken! So good. And what I like about IAF here is that there is so much focus on international experience. I will hopefully be going on a Dialogue to Spain this summer (fingers crossed!). I went to a lecture thing we had one night in the Curry Ballroom… the director of International Affairs was there and he said it was his job to make sure that all the IAF “get the hell off of campus.” That was when I knew I was in the right place haha. At the EA Accepted Students Day, the “International Opportunities” session was veryyyyyyy exciting.</p>
<p>Let me know if you have any more questions! I’m just a freshman, but I’ve been loving it so far :)</p>
<p>@blinkangel44: "I will hopefully be going on a Dialogue to Spain this summer (fingers crossed!). "
hahahahahaha… I’m Spanish!!!</p>
<p>^Sweet! I think I’m going to pursue a minor in Spanish 
I think that the Dialogue goes to Seville.</p>
<p>I agree with the person who said take some classes first. They won’t let you officially apply to be in a dual/double until the end of your freshman year anyway (because before then it doesn’t even matter). But for something like Economics?.. You really need to take a few courses in it before you decide to make it your major. I’m a econ major, and I know a LOT of IA majors who had to take some econ for a requirement, and they wanted to cry all semester. Not saying IA majors can’t do econ, I’m just saying that it seemed like people who didn’t take econ because they *wanted *to take econ ended up much more miserable (although their grades were fine). So you shouldn’t commit yourself to it unless you are sure.</p>
