Double Major and Double Degree

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am planning to transfer there for fall 14, and I am planning to double major in Econ and Finance, and if possible, also do accounting. But my concern is that is it a double major or a double degree? (Because I know that Econ(BA) is in the college of arts and sciences and Finance(BS) is under Mgt in the College of Business). And in SB website, it says that you need 144 credits for double degree and 120 for double major. So which one is it? And how many credits in total do you think I will need to do both. And once again, is it a double major or a double degree.</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>You could do that a couple of ways, actually. You can double major in Econ and Business (which houses finance and accounting), you could major in Economics and do the combined MBA program, which might be a better bet for you. You can check with your advisor in the COB when you come for Orientation.</p>
