<p>You can’t go wrong with any of these options. Duke has a great Public Policy department which sounds like a good path for you to take along with a double major in Economics. As a Pub Pol major, you can really hone your writing skills and learn how to draft memos and policy documents while the Economics major will give you the sheer business knowledge and raw analytical skills which would make a killer combo.</p>
<p>BTW, Pub Pol majors at Duke are required to do a policy internship in DC or NYC as part of the curriculum so you’re guaranteed to have some valuable summer experience in the field as well before you apply for these government positions your senior year.</p>
