Is public policy a quantitative undergrad degree?
I am a freshman at an MBB target school. I would like to enter the tech sector of consulting but have no interest in CS. Long-term, I would like to be doing business operations/strategy at a silicon valley tech giant.
When it comes to an undergrad major, my research has led me to believe it's smartest to choose a major that 1) you enjoy 2) you can get a good GPA in and 3) is quantitative/analytical.
For the first two, Public Policy is the major that comes to mind. I do also see myself pairing it with two minors, one in Economics and one in Statistics (on the Data Science track), however, if the degree was solely a BA in Public Policy (with no Econ/Stats minors) would a recruiter find this enough to pass the analytical test? Are the two minors enough to compensate if they do not find PP analytical enough?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Best,
David

Uh...honestly no...I'm a Math major, and public policy won't come into my mind when people say STEM
No. But a Stats minor would really help show you have the quant chops IMO.
