Students who complete this program can move into almost any major or program at a senior college or university confident that the skills and knowledge acquired will be useful.  However, the careers and occupations for which this preparation is especially helpful are communications, education (in numerous disciplines including political science at the elementary, secondary, and college levels), foreign service, government service (at local, state, and federal levels‑civil service), international business, journalism, law, and law administration.  Academic advisement for this program is provided by the Division of Business/Social Sciences.
