<p>Government & Law & Foreign Language is one major. Can anyone provide a little information on it? For example…</p>
<p>Is it all breadth, little depth? </p>
<p>How does it compare to a double major in, say, French and International Affairs?</p>
<p>Would it be possible to double major in GLFL and something else? Psychology, perhaps?</p>
<p>Is it compatible with Study Abroad?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Here’s what Lafayette’s website has to say about the Gov/Law/Foreign Lang. major: [Government</a> & Law and Foreign Language](<a href=“http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/majors/gov_law_languages.html]Government”>http://www.lafayette.edu/admissions/majors/gov_law_languages.html).</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say that the program is “all breadth, little depth.” Students are choosing from the same pool of courses expected of “full-time” Gov/Law majors; the same can be said for the language of one’s choosing.</p>
<p>The program is quite similar to that of I.A./French. The main difference would be the inclusion of a few History and Econ & Business courses for I.A. majors.</p>
<p>Yes, it’s entirely possible to double major in Gov/Law/Foreign Lang. and some other major. A B.S. in Psych might be a bit of a stretch assuming four courses a semester, but the A.B. degree is certainly feasible.</p>
<p>All programs at Lafayette (even Engineering!) are compatible with a semester-abroad program of the student’s choosing. I can’t say this enough: studying abroad is an integral part of a Lafayette education.</p>

<p>Thanks, Justin. </p>
<p>I’ve seen that page on the website and it’s what got me thinking. I think when Son visits, he’ll request a meeting with someone in the department. </p>
<p>Cheers.</p>
