Thanks for everyone's comments! They've been very useful. If I'm pursuing political theory, would a quantitative background still be helpful? I was a math minor, but I did very little on the applied side.

I was a history major as an undergrad and only took two political science classes (an intro theory sequence). I am now in an interdisciplinary MA program where I've had the opportunity to take political science classes, and am thinking about pursuing political theory instead of history. How open do political science departments tend to be to students who weren't majors? Are there any major hurdles I should be aware of/kinds of courses I definitely need to take to make up for my lack of undergrad preparation? I've spoken to my professor in the polisci department, but she seems pretty sanguine about everything, so it's hard to judge her comments. Thanks!
