Most valuable majors?

College Majors

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I’m trying to get into law school, focusing on either environmental law or public defense. Obviously, plans change, as I’m only a senior in high school now, and I don’t want to choose my major preparing for law school only to realize that I don’t want to go.</p>

<p>My basic interests as far as majors go are: Economics, Environmental Science, Political Science, Biology, Psychology/Sociology.</p>

<p>The intimidating thing for me is that I’m not fantastic with math. I work hard; but if it doesn’t come naturally to me, will I survive as an Economics major? Which of these majors (or feel free to suggest another!) will be most valuable for me for my undergraduate work?</p>

<p>From what I understand (and have witnessed), Econ majors aren’t super math intensive in undergrad. It’s grad school where they become more math heavy. If you’re looking at a BA in Econ, then it likely wouldn’t be as bad as a BS, which is usually more quantitative. I’d take a look at the checklists for the schools in which you’re interested. I believe Econ is one of the better majors that prepare you for law school.</p>

<p>Econ. would work. You might also want to look into programs along the lines of Environmental Policy.</p>
