<p>YuffieEvans - please don’t confuse a double major with a double degree. Compmom posted a wonderful link explaining the difference. For a double degree, you would be getting two separate degrees, with entirely separate requirements - usually in two different colleges within the university setting - for instance a BM and BA, or a BS and BA. You will start taking required courses from the first day for both degrees and it is usually impossible to finish in only four years without many extra courses over the summer, or a lot of credits coming in. A double major is much easier, and you needn’t know what you’ll be majoring in until going into your junior year. For a double major you end up with one BA - in two subjects, music and something else - rather than two separate degrees. If you don’t know what fields you’re interested in asides from music - you’ll want to look at double majoring - rather than pursuing a double degree.</p>
