<p>I was curious as to how much longer it would take someone to double major with a minor or just double major. I get my associates after this semester then I would have two more years for my Bachelor. I want to double major in accounting and marketing though. That shouldn't double the time should it? </p>
<p>I can see the need for an extra semester or two. Why do you want to do this?</p>
<p>Look at the curriculum of the schools’ majors you are planning to attend, and see what classes there are between accounting and marketing… if there is enough overlap you won’t have to stay longer. If they are vastly different then you will have to spend extra time there.</p>
<p>@geo1113 I see. And because I’m good at accounting and at times it is fun but also stressful. I’m a creative person and I know I’ll have a lot of ideas for a company so marketing would be good for me also. I don’t want to limit myself. I want to reach the ranks of CEO eventually if not a business owner. </p>
<p>@Ctesiphon thank you! That makes since lol </p>
<p>Christian, your thinking is good. I have been in accounting for years. It is a great discipline, but the jobs tend to bore me. I like hands on. Go for it if you have the resources.</p>
<p>Look at the school you’re planning to transfer to, and plan out what courses you would need to take when in order to graduate on time. Look at the prerequisites for each class, take into account any other school requirements (such as specific requirements for double majors) or unit limits, and keep in mind that some courses may only be offered once a year. If you can fit it into two years, then go for it. If you can’t, then re-evaluate. Feel free to run your plan by your adviser after you transfer to see if you’re missing anything.</p>
<p>@geo1113 So you think it’s a good idea and not pointless?</p>
<p>@baktrax Sounds like a good idea to me. I just want to do well and be happy doing it. Big goals. </p>
<p>Christian, it isn’t pointless. I have always thought a knowledge of accounting never goes to waste. But I also understand the desire to do marketing since it is a more creative and hands-on endeavor. baktrax made some good points to consider.</p>
<p>@geo1113 I see. So that sounds good I’ll talk to a counselor there also. I just don’t want to make the wrong or pointless decisions.</p>
<p>Good luck, Christian. Speaking with a counselor will help you sort everything out. </p>
<p>It depends. At my school (UC Davis) Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering require only 3 different classes, so a double major is easy. I’m doing a minor on top of it and graduating in 4 years (many thanks to massive amounts of AP credits).</p>
<p>^Yes, it does depend on the school. At the school I went to (UCSD), students weren’t allowed to double major in two majors within the same department (such as engineering), and they were required to take at least 10 classes unique to each major. So your situation wouldn’t be allowed at all at UCSD.</p>
