<p>How difficult is it to double major and are they really worth it?</p>
<p>I am highly interested in double majoring in Psychology and Economics I am wondering if this is possible and would it be worth while for career opportunitys</p>
<p>I feel psychology is helpful in any job since it helps you understand people
and Economics opens the doors to many business and banking opportunitys (I think)</p>
<p>My top schools right now are UNC, NC State, App State, and UNC-Asheville so would it be possible to do those two majors in 4 years and then go on to grad school and would it be worth it?</p>
<p>*Opportunities! </p>
<p>A double major in Psychology and Economics would be a pretty cool and intriguing combination. Vocationally speaking I’d bet math and economics would be much better, but the way the American system works you’d be fine with it.</p>
<p>However, as an addendum, a graduate degree in Economics will be math intensive. And while most undergraduate programs will have components of mathematics, a cursory glance of such programs gives me the feeling that they are oriented more for students leaving to work and possibly coming back later (esp. for an MBA).</p>
<p>Ive been a stright A honors math student but ive never doubled up in math (will be taking Pre Calc senior year) so its not like ive taken any advanced maths but im yet to get stuck so I say thats a good sign.</p>
<p>Yeah it seems like the best thing to do would go work for a bank after I get my undergraduate degree and see if they want to sponser me to go to grad school after I work there for a little.</p>
<p>It’s certainly possible, but you can decide when you see how much you like each discipline. It probably takes around 9 courses to complete a major, so if you aren’t really into psychology you might find that 3 courses or a minor (5 or so courses) will be enough. Look at the websites for a few colleges you are interested in to see what is required for each of these majors so you will get an idea what’s involved. The trade-off is that you won’t have as much time for anything else or for curriculum requirements if the school has them.</p>
