thunderchunky Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Out of curiosity, if you are doing (or have done) grad studies in International Affairs, what was your undergrad discipline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadisha Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 BA in Economics and Political Science. Why the question though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderchunky Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 I did a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance and International Business. The programs I've applied to tout themselves as "interdisciplinary", but I'm just wondering if my lack of poli sci is a huge detriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but I don't think it should be if you've got relevant work experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 It really doesnt matter what your undergrad major was. Most programs are only concerned with the quantitative aspect of your education. ZacharyObama, soaps and Pinkman 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intlrlns Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Besides, your major can be related to this field anyway. I know people who were hardcore science majors and decided to switch to IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av260987 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I studied engineering in my undergrad. Then did a diploma in journalism and have worked in print for around 2 years now. So, as you can see, no direct IR connection! thunderchunky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
