<p>I'm currently a senior at NCSU. I'm majoring in communication-media. I want to work in the field of marketing and news media. I've already worked at some well known companies as an intern, and am working on improving my resume, since the job market is extremely competitive for college grads right now. I just learned that if I take an additional 4 classes I can graduate with a B.A in communication as well as a BA in English- (LWR) linguistics and rhetoric. I currently have a minor- but just the general English minor. The questions I have are: will it be beneficial or look better when applying to grad school or for jobs to have a double major? I just wanted some opinions. Thanks so much!</p>
<p>If it wouldn’t be any increase in tuition, I don’t see why you couldn’t get a double major. It would certainly look better for both grad school and your resume/CV to have a double major, but don’t just do it for that purpose, otherwise you might not do well in your courses and subsequently lower your GPA.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t lower my GPA. honestly, it would probably raise it. Just wondered if that type of degree would look good. I’m going to go for it, in case I do apply for grad school at UNC. Thanks for your advice. :)</p>
<p>You’re welcome.</p>
<p>I don’t think it will necessarily look good for grad school, it really depends on what you would be going to grad school for.</p>
