What are some good majors or major/minor combos that tend to get overlooked?

College Majors
1

<p>Here are some potentially good majors that I think students often overlook when choosing majors. </p>

<p>Agricultural economics—for those interested in international trade, finance (commodities futures), international development
Consumer Economics & Finance (usually offered in colleges of human ecology)—for those interested in financial planning and business
For premeds: Nutritional Sciences; Speech & Hearing Sciences; Biological Anthropology; Statistics (for evidence-based medicine)
Nursing—for those interested in international development
Nutrition—for those interested in international development</p>

<p>Some potentially good major/minor or double major combinations:
Political Science/Geography (GIS)
Political Science/Communication (rhetoric, speech writing, campaign advertising)
Political Science/Finance
Psychology/Speech & Hearing Sciences</p>

<p>Any others?</p>

<p>I think anything that combines applied/vocational knowledge with theoretical/liberal arts type knowledge. For example:</p>

<p>Accounting + Economics
Pure Math + Finance
English (focus on writing) + Computer Science
Pure Physics + Engineering
Political Science + Philosophy</p>

<p>nutrition/dietetics for international development… <3</p>

<p>Realistically there’s not many that can be done in 4 years.</p>

<p>Major + Minor
Chemistry + Biology
Chemistry + Chemical/Materials Engineering
Chemistry + Physics
Chemistry + Environmental Engineering
Chemistry + Biomedical Engineering
Biology + Biomedical Engineering
Biology + Computers
Physics + Computers
Electrical Engineering + Physics
Chemical/Materials Engineering + Chemistry
Environmental Engineering + Chemistry
Biomedical Engineering + Chemistry
Biomedical Engineering + Biology</p>

<p>are some more employable and realistic to graduate ones.</p>
