If you’re interested in business finance or accounting, you may just want to take some applied mathematics or economics courses to supplement your political science degree and then pursue an MBA after working for a few years. Most top universities don’t even offer finance or accounting degrees to undergraduates and there are plenty of employees at nice firms who majored in a variety of subjects (if you’re in a more technical aspect of business, all they want to see is that you can handle math). Personally, I have my own qualms about getting a business degree without any real work experience; however, I will admit that you will be able to network at Goizueta in ways that you won’t be able to in the college of arts and sciences. Just remember that top MBA programs take everyone from teachers to big time managers. You won’t be screwed if you don’t major in business now or don’t land a nice consulting position straight out of undergrad.
