What are some tips on double majoring?

I'm contemplating on double majoring, and I have a general idea on the risks such as the time and energy commitment, as well as costs. However, aside from these basic risks, what are some other things I need to be aware of? If you are double majoring or have double majored, please share your experiences. What do you wish you knew before? and what advise would you give for someone who's considering a double major? If you have anything else to add, please feel free to do so :)

Gothami’s Answer

Double majoring can be less difficult if you do it with majors that overlap each others curriculum such as Finance and Economics. Usually, you are able to count credit hours in certain courses to satisfy requirements for both majors. If you do two majors that are completely different, it might be difficult and require a lot of time and effort. Its important to organize and plan ahead. Make sure you speak with a counselor at school so you have a good idea of what you need to complete to satisfy the requirements. They can advise you on the smartest approach to get it done!

Thank you comment icon Thanks Gothami! I agree, by taking on a major that have overlapping courses will definitely minimize the amount of time and money I'll be spending. I'll be having a talk with my counselor soon about my interest in double majoring, and thanks for the tips! Anudari
