Is it too much work to double major

I really like two of the degrees offered at my college and they would both look very good for when I go on to graduate school. #double-major #majors-and-minors

Simeon’s Answer

The best thing to do would be to talk with your career counselor and get an idea for the amount of hours you'd need to do in order to make the major happen. Chances are its feasible for you, but you just need to make sure that any given semester is not overwhelming. Some tips I'd give are to try and take some of the harder upperclassmen classes ahead of time and save your easy classes for later semesters. This way, you don't have to deal with both a heavy course load and several difficult professors all at the same time.

Michael’s Answer

I invested 4 years in a double and enjoyed a great return from it. Key to my success was that they were complementary - Business & German degrees. It gave one employer the confidence to offer a finance position to me in Germany (my home was US). I had a colleague also with two because she couldn't decide what she wanted to do between the two. After getting experience in one track, she was able to switch to the other. So think through what you will do with two degrees and the options they may create.

Kevin’s Answer

It truly depends. If you want to graduate in 4 years with a double major, then yes, it's going to be a very taxing 4 years. If you are okay with paying tuition for an extra year, then no, double majoring becomes a lot easier. Just be sure that the two majors play off one another. For example, Finance/Accounting go well together. Finance and Psychology, not so much.
