<p>Please please read the Peabody article that Compmom posted the link to. It clearly tells you the difference between a double degree and a double major. There are different requirements for the two degrees and they don’t cross over. It usually takes an extra year to fulfill all the requirements. But for two majors (as opposed to degrees) the same general requirements are in place for your one degree, and only the elective courses for the two majors change and can usually be fulfilled within four years.</p>
<p>As for job prospects from the degrees - I can’t help you there. Not much of anything guarantees a job these days.</p>
