I have 2 majors (Management and Accouting) with a minor on Liberal Arts. I would admit that its hard work but it was worth it for me.

As one of the responses said, ask yourself what your plans are. Will your major study bring you closer to fulfilling those plans? Will a second major bring you closer still? Do you have time for this? If all your answers are yes, then I would advice that you go straight to your counselor and ask for guidance. With the counselor’s help, you can map out your studies more efficiently and avoid unnecessary courses.

A double major usually takes about a year or two longer than a major with a minor. Plus some degrees you have add-on certifications available after you complete your first degree. For example if you have a degree in Biology and you want to teach school, some universities have a Master’s degree in alternate certification which means you just have to take the courses needed for you to become a teacher such as the education, educational psychology type courses, which takes about half the time of a regular Master’s degree.

When you’re double majoring, you’re studying to recieve two degrees. So once you graduate, you will have two Bachelor’s degrees (two 4-year programs).

When you have a major and a minor, you will only graduate with one Bachelor’s degree that states both your major and your minor. Less classes are needed for a minor than for a major, but it’s still a lot of work.

I considered a minor in Marketing (my degree is in Graphic Design), but couldn’t handle the extra courses since my degree already required extra Art courses.
