After competing on the debate team throughout high school, first-year Terra Hernandez decided to double major in Political Science and International Studies. She said debate helped open her eyes to world issues and made her interested in politics and foreign policy.
“I’m interested in politics and our political system because it shapes so many aspects of our everyday lives,” Hernandez said.
Through double-majoring, Hernandez said she hopes to discover if she prefers U.S. or international politics. She’s currently leaning toward foreign policy but wants to keep her options open.
“My teachers in the Political Science and International Studies Division have made my major so interesting and make learning fun,” Hernandez said.
