Double Major vs Major & Minor

I'm hoping to major in Mechanical Engineering as well as Astronomy but I am not sure as to whether I want to do so via double majoring or perhaps having a major in MechE and a minor in Astro. What're the pros and cons to both of these paths? #JULY20 #double-major #majors-and-minors

Would it be more beneficial to obtain a minor or double major?

I am a currently biochemistry student and I am very indecisive in my career path. I want to ultimately research and help in the process of creating medicines and treatments to disorders, but I also want to study genetics and cancer stem research. So, I have decided to either undertake a minor or double major in molecular biology. Correct me on this if I am wrong, but I researched that with a biochemistry degree one can utilize it to help make medicine or find treatments to diseases and disorders. Meanwhile, a molecular biology degree can be utilized to study disorders and bacterial diseases. If I double major, I will need to take another extra math course(which I despise math!) or I can minor but I do not know if it will be enough to look good in my resume for future jobs or to get a career in my fields of interest. So, which is beneficial to do, get a minor or double major? #biology #college-major #major #science #college #double-major #minor #molecular biology #genetics

What are good majors to pair with English Literature for a double major?

I'm really wanting to go into English Literature during college, but I think perhaps it would be wise to get a double major, for practicality and broader scope of career, but I'm not sure which major would be best to go into to supplement/compliment my Literature degree. #english #double-major #majors #college-major

Where could one intern who is an English major?

I've been considering applying for several schools that would require internships for me to complete my degree, and I would like to take as much advantage of this opportunity as possible. I'm primarily interested in a career involving the literary arts. Are there any particular types of places that would be a good fit for an internship for me? #internships #double-major #english #literature

How do I know which college is right for me?

Being a senior is harder then it looks. You have to worry about grades, scholarships, where to get money and what to wear to prom! My biggest problem is where my future would be in store. What college would be great for me since I plan to perform a double major in arts and technology communication. Should it be an expensive school? A cheap estate one? A HBCU? If anyone could answer this daunting question, I would highly appreciate it. #university #double-major #college #business #exams

Is a Double Major worth it?

My main major is International Business, but I am looking at my out of state tuition (WOW) and questioning if I should drop my second major due to the extra credits it requires. French Studies would likely help my career, but will future employers actually care if I have a double major? #choosing-a-major #double-major #college-major #tuition #foreignlanguage #french #business

What are the best steps to take as someone who would like to pursue both social work and animation?

I plan to finish college with at least a bachelor's in animation, but possibly a masters! This would mean I would probably have to double major. I'd like to do this at UGA, UNG, or maybe Breanau here in Georgia. This has been my plan for quite some time, however, if there are better options for me I'm more than willing to hear it. #social-work #art #art-school #double-major #georgia #animation #LSW #career

How stressful is a double major?

Currently I am split between business (economics) and biomedical science in terms of career paths to pursue. When I tell others this they say business goes well with everything so I should double major. Being in high school I have no idea the rigor of attaining a degree for a major. That being said how hard is it to double major? How long should it take? Does it take away from you’re overall “college experience?” #choosing-a-major #double-major #business #majors

Double Majoring

I hear that going to college for one major can be difficult enough. Isn't two better than one? If I wanted to pursue a career in business and law, could I major in both to be competitive within the professional field, or, should I major in business and minor in law? I feel that earning two majors shows passion and dedication, showing any hiring team in the professional field I want to go into that I am serious about my job. Should I stick to only one major and chose a minor? Or should I double major to be competitive? #majors #choosing-a-major #double-major #college-major

What are the rewards of pursuing a double major?

I am passionate about environmental issues, and would like to use business to become a part in solving that problem. My university does not have a "green" business degree as some schools do. At this point I am intending to pursue a business major with an environmental science minor. I am curious if there would be any real benefit to pursuing a double major instead or if I should just plan to go on to a masters in environmental studies once I have a business foundation. #business #environment #environmental-science #double-major

Is it worth it to get a double or even a triple major?

It is theoretically good to have more than one major because it translates into more job opportunities. However, the tuition and time needed increases significantly and for the most part, a job would only require one major. #college-major , #double-major , #college-advice

It is worth it to keep music in my life as I pursure college and careers?

All throughout k-12 school, music has been a big part of my life. Playing principal clarinet in numerous all-state events and solo contests throughout my high school career has been a big part of my life. However, I am probably going to pursue science in college, and I am wondering if I should keep playing at all. After all, knowing scales and etudes isn't going to help me much in a field of physics or neuroscience. Should I go with my brain and drop it, go with my heart and keep it, or do both somehow? #music #clarinet #neuroscience #science #physics #stem #double-major

Complimentary major/minor for Sociology major?

I plan to chase after a career in international human rights law, working with NGO's like Amnesty International or the EU court of human rights. With that in mind, I've thought about minors/ double majors in subjects like Spanish or international studies, but am still undecided what subject would both compliment my interest in sociology and prepare me for a career in this specific field of law. (Or just law and law school in general, really). #sociology #international-humanitarian-law #human-rights #double-major #college-minor #law-school

What are the benefits of a double major when considering post-graduate education or the job market?

My name is Ben, and I'm planning on majoring in Molecular Biology, with plans on going to med school. However, because of my passion and talent in music, I am seriously considering to pursue a second degree in music. But after doing some research, I am unsatisfied with the results I have found. The results online seem very vague and obvious. Of course taking more classes means potential for longer time of graduate/increase in tuition and loss of focus/time. Of course it exposes you to new ideas and concepts. Therefore, I am still confused about whether there are tangible benefits, if any, of pursuing a double major. Therefore, my question is: What are the benefits of a double major when considering post-graduate education or the job market? Specifically, what scholarships/grants are available for double majors? Does having a double major give applicants an advantage when going into med school or competing in the job market? #biology #music #job #medicine #college-major #college-advice #double-major
