Choosing the Right Academic Path: Combining Political Science with Business Studies
Deciding on the ideal combination of majors can be a pivotal step in shaping your future career. If you’re passionate about political science and are also interested in business, it’s important to consider how different business majors can complement your political science background and open diverse professional opportunities.
Originally, I had my sights set on pursuing political science alongside economics. However, due to challenges with mathematics, I opted for a different route—selecting a business-related discipline instead of economics. Now, I find myself contemplating whether to pursue a major in Business Management or in Supply Chain and Information Systems alongside Political Science.
So, which combination would be more advantageous? If you have experience studying a similar dual-major setup or have insights into how these fields intersect, I’d love to hear your perspectives. What career paths have these academic combinations led you to? Your advice and recommendations would be highly valued as I navigate this decision.
Ultimately, choosing the right pair of majors depends on your career interests and strengths. Both Business Management and Supply Chain & Information Systems offer unique advantages when combined with Political Science, from careers in government consulting, policy analysis, international relations, to business management and logistics.
If you are considering similar academic pursuits, reflecting on your long-term goals and current strengths will help determine the most suitable combination. Engaging with professionals or alumni who have followed these paths can provide additional clarity and guidance.
Remember, your education is a stepping stone—carefully selecting your majors can help you build a versatile skill set tailored to your aspirations.
