<p>Idk if this is possible but I am a firm believer of getting the most BANG for your buck</p>
<p>I am interested in double majoring in both law and business ( accounting or finance)</p>
<p>Is this possible? Overwhelming? Tips and suggestions or any comments?</p>
<p>UVa does not offer a law major.</p>
<p>I found that the best way to increase your bang for your buck in college is to reduce the buck. Don’t double major, finish early if possible. The marginal value of a second major over the first is generally not worth the effort. If you are interested in a second subject, take classes in it. But, if completing a second major poses any inconvenience, do not bother. </p>
<p>That said, it is certainly not inconvenient or impossible with most major combos as long as you plan on staying 4 years.</p>
<p>In addition to what 6281597 said, look at the opportunity cost. What could you be doing in the time that would be spent devoted to the second major? Graduate schools and employers are much more impressed by a successful independent endeavor than an extra bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>^ Assuming you can pull off a successful endeavor, yes. </p>
<p>If not, I think a masters plus a BA/BS in 4 years is almost always viewed as better than a double major in the same amount of time, all else equal.</p>
<p>I understand that many students could graduate early because of AP credit, but they decide not to, because they like it too much. As a result, many people end up with double majors.</p>
<p>UVa has a bunch of one year masters programs. If you do one of these after graduating in three years, you still get to spend the same amount of time in Charlottesville with your friends.</p>
<p>graduating from mc intire with a major in accounting will give me what degrees?</p>
<p>I also plan on taking CPA exam to be a CPA</p>
<p>B.S. Commerce with a concentration in accounting.</p>
<p>Bigshot- If you plan to sit for the CPA, you may want to work on doing a Master’s, and possibly do that as your 4th year if it is an option for you…I believe the requirements to sit for the CPA have all now increased (or will very soon) from 120 credit hours to 150 hours…which is basically a Bachelor’s and a Master’s.</p>
<p>Theresa Sullivan, the new prez, is encouraging departments and programs to come up with BA/MA programs that could be completed in 4 years by students who come in with a lot of AP credit. I’m not sure how quickly these will be rolled out, however, and I know that some departments will decline to participate.</p>
