Double-majoring?

<p>Thanks to the wonderful auto log out I had to rewrite this, so I probably skipped over a few things.</p>

<p>I will hopefully be going to a college in upstate NY in a year (community next year). Originally I was planning on getting a degree in equine science, but after hearing a lot of opinions and doing research I found it wouldn't be worth the money or debt. So now I'm looking at getting a bachelors in business administration as it would give me more opportunities job-wise after I graduate. However, I would really hate to pass up the chance to learn so much about something I love. </p>

<p>I will be paying for college 100% on my own so I want to get the most out of it that I can. At the same time, I don't want to get in over my head and have it wind up backfiring. I will be paying for an apartment, insurance, food, etc. for at least 3 of the four years as well, so I would need to balance in a part time job. I would like to think I'm good at managing my time and money but I don't really have any experience to back that idea up haha. </p>

<p>So do you think double-majoring would be too difficult? And to those who've taken business, is it a hard course (homework/workload/stressful)? Do you think I would be able to keep a part time job?</p>

<p>Sorry for all the questions, but thanks in advance to anyone who answers! :)</p>

<p>I’ve heard that business is an easy major, so I don’t think having it as a double major would be too much work.</p>

<p>It depens on the college and how requirements are.</p>

<p>yeah it could be an easy major but because there is no overlap in the coursework you may have to be on a full credit load every semester or have to stay longer than 4 years</p>

<p>You might have to take summer classes too.</p>

<p>Yes, as aforementioned business majors are considered on the easy side, although some are outliers which don’t fit that description–namely Accounting and Finance. With Business Administration being a general major, you won’t really get too in-depth in any subject, so it wouldn’t be too bad for you to pair with something else. </p>

<p>You’ll be able to keep a part-time job, but that would primarily depend on your school’s rigor. I’m double majoring in Spanish and Accounting, and it hasn’t been too bad even with working 25 hours a week. However, it will take me more than 4 years, so that’s something to consider between the work/school balance.</p>

<p>I’m a double major and would say a difficulty would be focusing on both studies equally. Example, one double majoring in nursing and Spanish as opposed to just Spanish. Also, each major requires a minimum amount of credit hours required, and it is unlikely to take every single class offered for your specific major. If you start to find it impoosible to double major you can substitute for a minor. Taking courses over the summer and winter at your local community college may also help complete requirements as a double major.</p>
