I want to take a dual major in Religious Studies and Psychology. About how much time will that take, and how many classes will I need?

That is a really hard question to answer here. It depends on the school and the requirements. Also depends on how many classes you are willing to, allowed to, and can take a semester. those two majors are not really related so you will probably need to attended during the summer also. Best guess if you go ever semester full time 12 credits to about 16 credits and summers you should be done in like 5 years. That is assuming you pass all your classes everything you need is offered and you can get a good schedule. College is harder than high school and does require more studying time. 16 credits is a bit much for some people so you may need to just do 12 and that will increase the time

I did a Double Major a few times. Most Studies have the same basics, once they out of the way you good to go. I would try to take 15 hours every semester, tried 18 once but it was too much. With 15 hours you can take a Course that pertain to your other major/degree. Usually with planning you can do this in 4 years, just depends if some courses (Not Basics) apply to both Majors.
Example; Religious Studies may require 3 hours of a Psychology Course, which would also, be a requirement of your Psychology Major.

Ususally, you need to take about 30 credits in each to qualify for a double major, but each school may have its own rules. Check with you advisor. As to time, you may not need to spend extra terms at school. You may just have to give up taking some electives.

It all depends on how good you are as to how much time it will take. Do you a have sponsor? Or will you have to work to survive? Are you a good student or are you a partier? Do you have a spouse of boy/girl friend? They will interfere with you time schedule. To many variables to answer this one.This is a question that only a college or university guidance counselor can answer.

You'll have to ask your advisor - it's different at every college.
