<p>I know that for a dual degree, you have to complete the requirements for both colleges and the University requirements and for a double major you have a primary major and then a secondary one. What are other differences between the two? When you go to look for a job, will it matter which one you have?</p>
<p>You basically get two diplomas with a dual degree and one with a double major.</p>
<p>So it really doesn’t matter either way?</p>
<p>Imagine you were an employer. Dual Degree basically means you went through college twice. Which is more impressive?</p>
<p>So I’m assuming dual degree takes a lot longer to complete?</p>
<p>It is usually impossible to do in the standard 4 years/8 semesters. Most people do it in 5 years, although it’s possible to do in 4 if you take summer classes more than 1 summer.</p>
<p>It’s also possible if you come in with enough AP credit or overload for a few semesters. I came in with 20 hours of AP credit (well, I have 23, but 3 of them aren’t eligible for degree credit) and am taking 8 credit hours this summer and am graduating with a dual degree in four years.</p>
