<p>Is a double major good enough to go to graduate school in either field, or is it better to get a bachelors degree in both fields?</p>
<p>I’m still undergrad, but I really don’t see why you couldn’t go to grad school for either of your majors.</p>
<p>What difference do you mean by “double major” versus “bachelor’s degree in both fields”? If, in both cases, you satisfy the requirements for both majors, then you should be as qualified as a bachelor’s degree holder in either field.</p>
<p>However, in some cases, a graduate school may favor someone who took additional in-major electives; someone who double majored may not have schedule space to do so. On the other hand, in some majors, a double major with a related field may be advantageous – economics is one example, where having a double major with math as an undergraduate is likely to be helpful for going to economics graduate school.</p>
<p>The difference I mean is that you do a double major program, but the college does not award dual degrees. Is a double major in anthro and psych advantageous?</p>
<p>Do you mean that you get a single degree like “Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Psychology” versus two degrees like “Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology” and “Bachelor of Arts in Psychology”? If it is just that difference, then there really is not any difference in a practical sense between a single double major degree and a degree for each major.</p>
<p>Whether a second major is advantageous, disadvantageous, or neutral in the context of anthropology or psychology is a question you’d have to ask of graduate admissions in those subjects.</p>
<p>I might have to ask individual colleges how they do degrees for double majors. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I believe US colleges/universities usually do not award dual degrees, but rather a single bachelor’s degree with a double major annotation. The two are the same for all practical purposes.</p>
