<p>they are the same. gov & legal studies is just a different name. you can concentrate within four specialities:</p>
<p>political theory</p>
<p>american gov.</p>
<p>comparative gov.</p>
<p>international relations</p>
<p>american gov is strong but only one out of four concentrations. this is more unique because you can do political theory as a kind of pre-law, american gov if you want to go into politics in the U.S., and comparative/IR for international study. </p>
<p>that being said, my room mate is an environment studies major and will be working for the U.N. next year</p>
