Double majoring at ND

<p>How difficult is it to double major in the Business School and the College of Arts and Letters? Specifically, Marketing and Economics? I actually met a junior this fall who was double majoring in these two, but I didn't get the chance to ask her about it. So it can't be impossible, but will I be miserable? I know I'll have to take more small, higher-level classes instead of being able to take general ones.</p>

<p>Looking around on the ND website told me that for Marketing I would need 18 marketing credits, 18 non-business credits, and 8-11 business or non-business credits. I think economics requires 2-semester econ sequence, 24 credits in econ at the junior/senior level (there's a set of specific requirements for those) and Calc II. However, I don't really understand what this all means. Could I take 18 marketing credits and use the 24 credits to fill my remaining 26-29 credits?</p>

<p>I'm not going to ND til next fall but I figured I should ask now because I don't want to waste classes freshman year and have trouble later on. Does anyone have any experience with this?</p>

<p>Also- I have a 5 on AP Psych, and hoping to get 5s on Calc AB, English Lit, Micro, and Macro. I’m also taking Euro and French but for those tests I’m probably looking at the 3-4 range so I don’t think I could get credit for those.</p>

<p>My daughter (ND '11) did double major in two colleges. She was a science pre-professional major and a music, vocal performance major. So, both the college of Science and the college of Arts and Letters. It was tough, but doable. She came in to ND with 46 AP credits and without that she wouldn’t have been able to swing it on time. That said, she still had to take over 18 hours every semester and was not able to go abroad. (more due to the science/labs than anything else). I guess, in the end you can do it, but you may want to think about why you want to. Time flies and you can’t go to a school like ND and not take time out to enjoy all it has to offer! Make sure you keep that in mind.</p>
