Hi Paula,
I would say it depends which one is more important in terms of the career path you are thinking to take. I have seen people do 3 majors, 5 minors...stressing themselves out during college, having to do another year or two just to achieve that, maybe get a quick recognition at graduation for taking so many classes, and doing so many majors, but at the end, you really might end up using one of them, and look back and feel like you have worked so hard to only really need a small amount of everything you put on your shoulders.
I do not know enough about either of those majors, and the job prospects that come along with those majors and fields of study.
I would advise you to research, network, and ask around people that work in the jobs you are looking to get after college to see which one is more important, or if either works, and better to focus on experience more than the degrees' name .
At the end of it all, most majors do not prepare you for the real job, they might give you a small base to rely on, but 90% will be learned on the job, and through experiences.
Good Luck!!
