Can you have a double major and a minor?

Question

There are many things I want to study in college, but I can't seem to choose between them. Is it possible to have a double major and a minor?

Answer 1

It would be pretty tough to fit that all in in a normal 4 year college program. Of course, if don't mind paying an extra year's tuition that's another story,

Answer 2

You can have as many as you want as long as you cough up the money for all the classes. Some majors require you to have a minor, and for some majors having a minor is not necessary (like mine... my advisor told me it wasn't even worth it to have the minor I was interested in because you don't learn enough about it with just a minor). I heard once that somewhere around 80% of freshman that start college with a major declared end up changing it. I was undeclared my entire freshman year because I couldn't choose and now I have a major and am going to graduate within 4 years. If the things you're interested in are similar to each other, chances are you need a lot of the same classes for both of them anyway.

Answer 3

I am sure you can. But before you start taking classes you should look into it. Each school is different. For example, at Rutgers you need to get atleast 30 credits in the second major. So I already had the major in accounting. When I went for the second in Finance, I had to take a minimum of 30 credits even though the Finance major only required 21. I am sure there are other requirements if you take a second major that is not related to the first (ex: business & non business related majors).

Answer 4

Yes,

I double majored in Accounting and Business Admin.
The minor in English is just meeting the minimum requirements.

Answer 5

Depends on the school. I had a double major and was two classes away from a double minor, but my school wouldn't have acknolwedged it, so I didn't bother. But some schools will.
