Is hard to double major in college?
My daughter did a double major and she found it opened up so many more doors. She did a double major in Economics and Political Science with a minor in History. She also qualified as an Emergency Medical Technician during her senior year. She got a great fellowship, got through grad school with a near full ride in Technology Management and is now doing a fully funded PhD in civil engineering. And a job offer with a top consulting firm waiting for her whenever she gets tired of going to school. At her undergrad school, about 1/3 of her graduating class did a double major. However to do all this in 4 years she had to take 9 credits in each of two summers to get all her courses and still graduate in 4 years. She says it only took about 20% more hard work. But make no mistake. It is harder. She finished with 136 credits compared to the 120 needed for a single major. Double majors are the bachelor’s degree of the 21st Century. The one field where I suggest NOT double majoring is Engineering
