Double Major: Finance and Marketing?

<p>I'm currently a senior in high school who has been accepted to NYU: Stern. Though Stern is known primarily for its Finance major, I also share a deep interest in Marketing. Being in Manhattan, Stern is close to huge firms like O&M. I would ultimately like to enter the Marketing field. However, going to NYU and not pursuing a Finance major seems a little silly. </p>

<p>I currently have not accepted my NYU admission, but was wondering (esp if there's any people who have experience in having done this): how difficult or reasonable is doing a double major in Marketing and Finance? I understand it may be a challenge, but at the same time I wouldn't want to over burden myself and perform poorly in both. Thank you very much and I appreciate your suggestions.</p>

<p>You don’t have to choose a major until the end of your sophomore year so there is no need to decide now. If you go to NYU, take classes in both marketing and finance and see 1) where your interests are 2) where you aptitudes are and 3) if a double major is possible. If you can’t double major you can likely major in one and minor in the other discipline. Or you may find some unexpected subject that interests you even more!</p>

You can definitely major in both as I am and I go to Stern! With Stern, you either pick a track or concentration and they urge you to either have two concentrations or one and a minor. So I am doing Finance and Marketing because I enjoy both, but technically I could even fit in a minor, so it’s definitely possible!
