Of course it is possible. Many people get double majors.
It is easier to do when you have two liberal arts majors than when one is a science -- because students in the sciences usually have to take other science classes to suppement their majors. For example -- if you want to major in "space science" (which most people call "astronomy") you will have to take a lot of math and physics classes in addition to those in your major. That doesn't leave you a lot of space for a full major in anthropology -- but you might be able to take overloads or summer classes.

I've heard it's really hard, but if you can do it, more power to you! Most people I know of who double major, major in two different subjects that are kind of related to each other. That makes it easier to juggle. But I do know at least one person that has two totally unrelated majors.

You can have a double major (it will be more work), or maybe you could major in one and minor in the other (it might only be a semester extra)?
Good luck!

I'm pretty sure you can. Most universitys allow double majors.

Yes, you will have a double major. It will just take you longer to finish.

So long as you can manage to study for both without doing injustice to either of the subjects, then no problem
