Jessica Said:

Could a business career be attainable with a philosophy or politics major and a business minor?

We Answered:

A business internship would definitely help.

May I suggest majoring in business if that major is available, in which case you could minor in politics or philosophy. As you can take additional politics or philosophy courses as electives in addition to those required for a minor, you could still get a good education in one of those subjects.

If a major in business is not available, I would suggest that you take as electives any additional available business courses which are not required for the minor. I would also suggest taking additional business courses during the summer at the most prestigious university possible during any summer in which you do not have an internship. Some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including Harvard and Stanford, often admit for the summer only students at any other properly accredited university or college upon the student's completion of a simple form and payment of the tuition fee. In that case be sure to have official transcripts sent to your college.
