Double Major?

<p>Is it possible to be enrolled in the college of arts and science and double major in Economics and Finance?</p>

<p>yeah it’s definitely doable. I know quite a few people who are in the commerce school and are also majoring in economics.</p>

<p>Yea, lots of people do this but it’s really not necessary to get a good job. It wouldn’t be too hard to do if you just liked economics a lot, however.</p>

<p>I know this sounds crazy, but what about a double major in architecture and finance? or even better, a double major in architecture and accounting?</p>

<br>

<p>when you get to UVA you won’t want to double major in those things anymore. you’ll have no life. college is about social life as much as academics. econ/finance works because of the overlapping classes (prereqs for econ and finance are a lot the same) and someone who is very motivated; architecture has nothing to do with finance as far as core classes and architecture students are very overworked as far as i understand, let alone adding finance requirements on top of that. i did know someone who did eschool/clas but i have the feeling the clas major was easy. just wait until you get to uva to decide what you want to do.</p>

<p>Shoot yourself in the foot ;)</p>

<p>It’s doable, but you’re going to be doing lots of work - take as solace the fact that architecture requires lots of calculations and there will be links between the two.</p>

<p>If it’s what you enjoy, go for it - it can only increase your career prospects. But, you will want a social life as hazel said, so don’t get your heart set on anything just yet.</p>

<p>That pretty much set the tone for me. That was hallarious.
I guess I’ll just wait till I get to UVa and see. Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>I’m interested in double majoring in Finance & Economics. However, I would like to find out will I be getting a B. Commerce with a note that I double majored in Economics on my transcript, or can I also get B.A in Econs?</p>

<p>You seem to have a pretty good knowledge about the double major options.</p>

<p>Need your advice on the type of graduate degree one may opt, after obtaing the undergraduate degree in Economics +Foreign Affairs. </p>

<p>One very mundane question:</p>

<p>In case of double major, is the degree certificate and the transcript mention the names of both the majors? </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>you could do graduate school in either of your major areas, assuming you publish things, etc. there might be better programs for people who majored in both but this board is only about UVA so at least i have no idea there.</p>

<p>the transcript will say both. the degree doesn’t say your major at UVA.</p>

<p>Unless they changed the degrees in the past two years, the degree does say your major.</p>

<p>hrm this says otherwise[Graduation</a> and Diplomas — Undergraduate, College of Arts & Sciences, U.Va.](<a href=“http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/graduation/index.html#faq]Graduation”>http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/college/graduation/index.html#faq)</p>

<p>That explains it. It is a BS in Chemistry that is hanging on the wall.</p>

<p>we were both right!
do you find it amusing that you joined in 2004 and it still says you’re a “new member”?</p>

<p>^^ I thought that was hilarious too (do you find it amusing that you joined in 2004 and it still says you’re a “new member”?) but hey to each his own lol :)</p>

<p>If you’re in McIntire and you double major, you earn a B.Comm with a note of your other major on your transcript. You DO NOT get a dual degree (i.e. a B.A/B.S. in Econ, or w/e).</p>

<p>Engineering + Finance? (Civil Engineering possibly)</p>

<p>engineering is really hard. wait until you see how hard it is by itself before trying to do that. a lot of people do systems engineering with some kind of business emphasis/concentration within the engineering school itself but i don’t know all the details of that.</p>
