Yes you can, as long as you can have time to do it. Be wary of over -extending yourself. It might be better to major in one thing and minor in two and get better grades than do 2 or 3 majors, and do badly because you can't keep up with the work.
However, my friend in college majored in two things. One thing to be aware of, most colleges and universities, even if you major in 2 things, they only allow you to take the one degree on your diploma that day, so she had majored in both communications (Bachelor of Arts) and Computer Science (Bachelor of Science). She decided it would be better for her career to have her diploma say the Bachelor of Science major.
Good to hear you have a lot of ambition. You'll do well in life...

At most universities you can double major. You can also have a few minors. However, keep in mind that it is a lot of work to have two majors and a few minors and you might not be able to finish in four years, which is what we all dream of!
My advice is to sit down with an academic advisor at your college and university and talk about what your goal is in the future. Whatever that goal may be, the academic advisor will help you to pick the right major(s) and minor(s).
And keep in mind... almost all universities (except for the speciality schools (devry, etc)) will require you to take a lot of general education classes or breath requirements. This means that you'll probably have to take a language class. This means that you'll probably have to take an art class. You'll get to take the classes that you'll enjoy, even if you are not majoring in it.
Good Luck!

Its not a matter of talent, its a matter of time and concentrating on one area or areas that are related to each other. Normally you would take one major and one or two minors. Sometimes colleges will allow you to take two majors. Look at Public Relations, Journalism and Spanish. Those three would work together beautifully. Art and Fashion often work together but depending on what you want to to with it would determine your extra minor or use them as two majors.

My friend just graduated with 2 majors and one minor. You can have as many as you want, but it may cost you. Most colleges will only allow you to take 5 courses per semester if you're a full-time student. It might take you a while and will definitely cost money. The good thing is that the things you're interested are more or less within the realm of Liberal Arts. This way, you can cross-cover some of the requirements.

Double majors aren't that uncommon. Through poor planning, I didn't think to plan a minor until I began my senior year. As I frantically surfed through the college catalog, I discovered I'd taken enough courses in one area that all I needed was a freshman-level course to qualify for a second major. But I really enjoyed school, and had to get special permission to take my very heavy course load several semesters. On the other hand, if you're able and willing to spend five or six years getting your degrees, why not? In that case you could run into planning problems in a different direction: taking your courses in an order that doesn't require that you graduate before your goals are met!

As long as you meet the credit requirements for both majors you can do more than one. i believe it is possible to do 3, but it would be very difficult. If you double major in related fields that share course requirements it will make things much easier.

Usually you can have more than one major or minor area. Some schools do not have minors (mine did not) -- but you can still take enough classes so that you meet the rewuirements of a minor even if it is not recognized.

Have to check with the school, but I had a double major. But its a ton of work. You have to have the requirements done for both programs and that requires alot of course work.
