What minor would be best to accompany an International Affairs major?
March 23rd, 2010
At Northeastern they offer double majors:
International Affairs and Anthropology
International Affairs and Economics
International Affairs and Environmental Studies
International Affairs and Foreign Language
International Affairs and Political Science
What would be a good combination?
I plan obtain a minor in psychology.
Thanks!
I speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish. I was planning on taking some classes to brush up on formal speaking.

I would suggest a foreign language. Many companies look for people that can speak multiple languages.
You want to choose the foreign language combination and your minor should be in another languge, not psychology.
The two most useful languages for obtaining employment in your field are Chinese and Arabic.
Foreign language.
Depends what you’re looking to do with your degree. Generally speaking, if you’re planning on going into consulting or foreign service a foreign language will be most useful. Most consulting companies and foreign language postings are dependent on fluency in another language.
Depending on what you want to do, languages currently in demand are Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish.
The minor in psychology may or may not be useful in terms of personal information. It’s not that useful in terms of the psychology of actors, which is something you’ll cover in your major.
