<p>Two ways to look at it: on one hand, that program does provide attractive options for serious students. On the other, it’s an extremely popular “fall back” major because it has virtually no prerequisite requirements. In fact, it’s widely reputed to be one of the easiest majors at FSU because it’s only about as difficult as you want to make it. I’m just warning you of this because you’re sure to get some snide looks or responses if people ask you what you’re studying and you reply with “international affairs.” The most difficult part of it is getting through the third semester language class, but that’s a requirement for all Arts and Sciences students.</p>

<p>In my opinion, if you’re genuinely interested in international affairs, you should avoid the generic major and instead choose a related specialty major like Russian/East European studies, Asian studies, Latin American studies and so forth. These programs have a focused and comparatively demanding curriculum and their academic merit should be more appealing to graduate/professional schools. Moreover, you’ll avoid the unpleasant “international affairs” stigma.</p>
<p>FWIW, my best friend was a Russian studies major at FSU and had his pick of law schools upon graduation.</p>
