As stated in my previous threads, it’s become pretty evident that I want to major in International Studies. However, I am getting this subject confused with Political Science. What is the difference? I know that Pol Sci focuses more on government and IS/IR focuses more on interactions between countries, but is there that big of a difference? Will I benefit more from a degree in Pol Sci than in IS? Also, while I realize that in some cases IS is considered a multidisciplinary study within Pol Sci, could I go into college wanting to major in Political Science with a double major in International Studies?
