<p>I’m going to do a BM in piano performance, and also am going to do a BA in another subject. I want to do something combining an International Studies major, Political Science, and History. What would be the best way to combine those, as far as which is the major and which minor? Should I do like an International Studies major, and then a combined Political Science and History minor? I will have AP and CLEP credits to help get all this done in a decent amount of college time. I will be a high school senior this fall. Also, some colleges I’m looking at don’t offer the IS major- instead they have an International Business major or minor. Would that be similar enough? I’m going to look at the courses required, but just wanted some opinions if anyone has some more knowledge of these majors! Or instead of an international major, would it make more sense to combine a major and double minor in Economics, History, and Political Science, or just do the International Studies/Business major with a Political Science/History minor? Anyone know- I think a lot of those course for the IS major and PS/H minor would probably double up, so it wouldn’t end up being too much extra, right, considering this is a 2nd degree on top of a music degree?</p>
<p>Do a major in either History, Economics, or Political Science. Take 2-3 courses focused on international topics in each of these fields. take a course in American foreign policy, do a foreign language through 3rd or 4th year level, and take 2-3 country/region-focused courses (which might overlap with some courses in History, PoliSci, or Econ). This would be the equivalent of an international studies major and the major in a traditional discipline would give it more focus. If you could study abroad that would top it off, though I’m not sure in the BM degree would allow for that.</p>
