I'm a Current Undergrad. Ask Me Anything!

Hi, I’m currently in the College and I’m considering transferring to SFS. My intended major is economics and at SFS it would be international economics. I like learning about history and foreign languages, I would be excited to learn about theology and philosophy (though have never taken classes on this before) and I’m currently living abroad so I appreciate the whole “international” aspect of the curriculum. Also, I want to work for the CIA in the future as an analyst (this could change but it’s my current goal).

However, I’m not super passionate about politics. Looking at the Facebook group most SFS people seem to be people wanting to major in IPOL, and are people who are heavily involved in debate, mock trial, MUN, and like to debate about politics in their free time. Are all SFSers like that? I am interested in learning about politics but I don’t think I’m that devoted. Also, apparently most people in the SFS hate the econ classes (sad considering econ is my intended major)? Considering this, should I stay in the College?

Perhaps staying a year in the college first and then deciding if I want to transfer would be better, but I heard it’s harder to fulfill all the SFS core requirements then, might be harder to get in, and I wouldn’t be able to take the proseminar etc. Although it could be hard to transfer now, too (I really have no idea).
