<p>Is it completely unrealistic to do a double major between something like Anthropology and International relations/communications? Is anyone currently attempting a double major? Do you need to plan on it lasting around 5 years or more because of a particularly intense workload?</p>
<p>English and Philosophy, here.</p>
<p>most schools have no problem with double majors- its pretty easy to schedule, and it can be as unrelated or related as you want. you gotta figure, the average school has students take 4-5 classes a semester, which is between 32-40 total. majors typically require 10-12 classes. so you will have tons of room in your schedule for minors. another major, or lots of fun electives</p>
<p>If you choose to apply for a double major in different colleges, how do they decide which college will be making your admission decision?</p>
<p>Classics and Anthropology maybe</p>
<p>Philosphy/Econ or Government/Econ or English/Econ. Still have to decide...I may even do just Econ.</p>
<p>Is that even possible. I wonder how financial aid will be like if you attended two different colleges. I wanted to go to a certain college but they do not offer both degrees I want. </p>
<p>I want to double major as well. International Business and a language.</p>
<p>I'm planning on doing a double-major, most likely Classics and philosophy (although I am also very interested in some of the courses in the Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations and Christianity & Culture programs at my university). The one thing about double-majoring that makes me nervous is that I might stretch myself too thin on both majors. Perhaps one strong major (12 credits or so) and a couple of minors (4 credits each) is the better option for me. We'll see.</p>
<p>I am considering Classics and Mathematics, though I do not know how feasible it is, both in the number of required courses and in difficulty level. To add to that, my two years of Greek through a university won't count toward my major, so I still am undecided.</p>
<p>Glad to see so many prospective Classics majors here, though.</p>
<p>Yeah, I want to double major too...Latin and Chinese.</p>
<p>Senior year is going to kill me...I want to do an honors thesis in Chinese and I'll have advanced Latin courses. It'll be doable at any college I'll attend but it isn't going to be fun. :)</p>
<p>At the moment I'm a compsci, math dual major (which i guess seems a little bit easier since the classes slightly corespond) but i'm also a Psyc minor (or i might swich to a triple major...which does sound a little crazy) but all in all, they pretty much fit into my schedule and I'm able to keep up with a normal load too.</p>
<p>I'm considering a wide range of options. It is likely that it will eventually come down to the quality of the programs at the school I end up attending.</p>
<p>OPTIONS:
English/theatre, film studies minor
English/theatre/film studies (triple major)
English/theatre, mathematics minor
Theatre/mathematics</p>
<p>Etc etc etc. D*** me for loving so many things...the above doesn't even cover everything I'd really love to major in...Sigh...</p>
<p>International Relations and Political Science</p>
<p>Ants, I'm going for English and Film Studies too! Although not Math. It is not my strongest subject.</p>
<p>As for the OP, I don't think Anthropology and IR are extremely unrelated. They both have to do with people. Depending on where you go they might even have some classes in common.</p>
<p>Our son attends UT-Austin and is double-majoring in Plan II (a liberal arts honors program) and business. He had to separately apply to and be admittted by the business college and the college of liberal arts. According to the advising handbook, double majors from different colleges require 5 years to graduate. However, because our son had AP credit, he will probably graduate in 4 years. Even without AP credit, he probably could have graduated in 4 years if he had taken 18 hours a semester or gone to summer school. Where the double majors are in related fields and there is overlap in the course requirements, it is easier to finish in 4 years.</p>
<p>There are quite large number of students at my school doing triple major... their course is 6 years for just a bachelors (undergrad) degree!</p>
<p>I'm planning on double-majoring in Greek and Latin, with a minor in philosophy. 4 years. </p>
<p>At the University of Toronto, one needs 20 full credits to graduate. The major programs in Greek and Latin require at least 6 full credits each (12 altogether) and the minor program in philosophy requires at least 4 full credits. It's totally doable, with room to spare for the two mandatory science credits.</p>
