<p>Greetings CC. So it looks like I am almost certainly going to ASU. Since the school has been chosen, I figured I should consider my majors now. Just some time ago, I was almost confirmed on my major to be physical science, and only physical science. Then stuff happened, and now I am quickly gaining interest on various different subjects. Therefore I ask you guys whether the following combination is do-able: Major in a physical science (physics or chemistry) and anthropology, and a minor in either creative writing or literature. Yes, it sounds absolutely ridiculous, and greedy as well. But what do you guys think? Or should I just major a physical science and pursue the other two in minors? What would my college life look like if I am to choose a such path? Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>Double majors sound nice in principle but often they involve staying an extra year in school. This is financially never a great idea. Follow the minor route and finish in 4 years</p>
<p>My school makes a differentiation between a double and dual major. A double major requires taking all of the classes for 2 separate majors, while a dual major has about 2/3 of the classes from each major, focuses on combining and integrating the topics, and can be completed in 4 years. You might check if ASU offers such an option.
If not, though, I agree: spending the extra time and money for a double degree you probably won’t use likely isn’t worth it. Do they offer an anthropology minor? If you get any credits from AP/IB/dual enrollment, that would give you more flexibility to possibly do 2 minors.
I would keep an open mind, though. When I started college I was planning to minor in international affairs, but I ended up minoring in computer science, something I had never done before college.</p>
<p>I see. So I think my best bet is to major a physical science, then attempt to minor the other two. Thanks for the great advices!</p>
