Is Double Majoring in Biochemistry and Political Science difficult?

Question

Will doubling up on those two majors will be to hard?

Answer 1

The only hard thing is classes for one major cannot be used for the other. (Normally with majors you can use one class toward both requirements, but biology and political science will not share many requirements.)

You will have to take 60 credits total in biology and political science plus about 12 credits in prerequisites.  It won't be hard if you've decided on these majors your freshman year or before.  It just means that you won't have much room for elective classes outside of your majors.  If you plan well, you can do it easily.

As for the worthlessness of political science, it can be very helpful when combined with other majors or minors.  For example, my political science classes are helping me write my Latin American studies thesis on Central American-Taiwanese relations.  If you are planning to use your biochemistry and political science degrees to work for the FDA or something, then political science might be very helpful.

Answer 2

Political science is a waste of time and effort unless you plan to get alt east a Masters Degree in it. I only got my BA in it and spent 3 years after college working restaurant jobs because of its worthlessness. Unless you plan to

A) go to Law school

B) get a MA

or

C) go into politics

it will be a complete waste of an education. Do not make my mistake, get a degree in something worthwhile and that can provide a job that pays.
