if i wanted to run to be a U.S representative what kind of college degree would i want to get?

Answer 1

Political Science, then go on to Law.
A Master's Degree in Political Science would be good as well.
Public Administration may also be another choice.

Also- volunteer/intern for political parties during their campaigns. This gives you a "grass roots" level view of how things are done.

Answer 2

As someone else pointed out, I don't think you'd have to major in political science. If you're getting a liberal arts degree, you could major in philosophy, economics, sociology, history, psychology, english, for example. I think it will matter more at the graduate level. Then perhaps political science, law, international diplomacy, etc. Why don't you read up on the backgrounds of the current Representatives? They must all have their credentials posted somewhere online.

Answer 3

It is my understanding that a lot of politicians have law degrees. You could also use a political science degree.

Answer 4

Political Science, International Relations, etc. are obvious choices, but you can be a U.S. Rep. without majoring in something politics related. Go with something you're interested in so you have a fallback.

Answer 5
