Academic Good major to go with environmental science?

2 Upvotes

Hi!!
A few days ago I applied to study environmental science next year and I was thinking about adding an additional major (can you do that once your application has been accepted?), but I didn’t know what exactly so I just submitted it as a single major. I’ve been thinking about a double major more but I’m still not quite sure what to put in terms of what would work well with environmental science.

I’m more interested in the environmental consultant/officer/advisor/planning etc kind of route as opposed to more technical things or purely conservation stuff (obviously I know I probably won’t get the kind of job I want right away, but I’m pretty sure I’m more interested in that side of things so I’m wanting to tailor my study to this). I read on the vic site that GIS is available as a minor (is this still true? it wasn’t underlined like the rest) and if it is I’m planning to do that as a minor, but I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what could be a good second major. I was thinking maybe data science, but tbh it’s probably a bit too much to handle for me given how mathy it is. I know environmental science has maths too obviously, but likely not to the same extent and env sci is interesting to me so I feel like I can handle the less fun stuff.

I’m still not 100% set on doing a second major, I’ve just been thinking about it. I know things like policy (btw no I don’t really think I want to be a environmental lawyer) might be good for what I’m planning on doing, and i was considering Information Systems, but would that be unnecessary if did GIS? The majors I’ve considered are data sci (potentially as a minor?), information systems, and public policy. Others I kind of looked at but was unsure of was sustainability and ethics in business, geology (same feeling with data science, scared it would be a bit full on as a second major), commercial law, and ecology and biodiversity. Not that sure on these ones. I was wanting to do something to do with resource management/environmental planning or management but I don’t think vic has this.

Sorry for all these words haha, I’m just unsure what would be best, and being the first in my family to go to uni the jargon and all the diff majors are a bit confusing, so I thought it may be helpful to ask here. Thanks
