<p>At UNC do alot of people double major? I am thinking of double majoring in business and economics. I think that it would be beneficial for me to double major in both economics and business because I plan on becoming a venture capitalist.</p>
<p>Not a lot of people double major, many people major and minor. Unless you want to be on the five year plan, a double major is pretty tough to do in 4 years.</p>
<p>I would respectfully disagree with chillman. I know many people who are double-majoring, even some who have a double major and a minor. If you have a fair amount of AP credit coming in, it's really not that tough, just make sure you stay on top of all your requirements from the beginning. Economics is especially conducive to a double major because it is only 8 courses. Don't really know anything about Business, but I would assume at least a few of the course requirements would overlap (you can double count up to 3 in most cases) which would make it even easier to pull off.</p>
<p>How about a double major in international business and international studies with a minor in a language?</p>
<p>My daughter is double-majoring, and one of those majors is a foreign language, which requires 10 courses--most of which have to be taken in a specific order. So I agree somewhat with chillmandan; this certainly would be a difficult major to finish up in 4 years, but a study abroad that focused on both her majors really helped her. As luxlibertas said, though, some majors are more conducive to a double major-- like econ or int'l relations/studies--probably business, too, I would think.</p>
<p>fobby1818 I actually know of someone who double majored in Business Administration and Economics at Carolina. AND he actually graduated a semester early. So if you have some AP credits to get you out of introductory classes you should have no problem.</p>
<p>karipac07, did he take any summer courses?</p>
<p>You would have to have summer school to do that, because business majors apply to the school in their first semester of their sophmore year. And you wouldn't have time to finish a semester early w/o going to SS.</p>
<p>so would it be a good idea to double major in business and economics? Also what is the most popular concentration within business?</p>
<p>Doubling in business and econ seems kind of pointless, unless you really like learning about econ. Most people major in econ if they want to work in finance but not major in business; majoring in business and specializing in finance will give you basically the same utility as a business/econ double major.</p>
<p>well you only need 8 courses for a econ major and 4 or 5 of the courses are for business and so you have to take 3 additional courses for a econ major...mind as well</p>
<p>No he didn't do summer school...he just took some business courses early in spring of his sophmore year. If you have some AP credits to get you out of the introductory courses you can start to get in touch with the Business school and ask for permission to take a class or two ahead of time, it doesn't guarantee admission as a BSBA but it's a big help. And why not take those extra 3 courses and get a double major in Econ? The guy in question graduated early in 2006 and now works at Wachovia investment banking and makes 120 grand a year as a 23 yr old. Good luck!</p>
