In my opinion, whether PS or IA depends on where you think your “future” career interests are! If you’re thinking more towards "Foreign service, State Dept, CIA etc - I’d go with IA-Elliott. If you’re more towards domestic - US Government, Public Policy - PS/CAS.

As you said - you can always take classes across colleges and possibly even “double major”, but the curriculums overlap a lot and probably not necessary.

Both degrees prepare you for either graduate school or law school.

Which is “harder” to get into? We were told @ GW admissions during the meeting, Both CAS and Elliott are similar? you could always discuss this with your regional admissions rep.

Good Luck!
