<p>Question for current Wellesley students:</p>
<p>I know on Wellesley's website they say that double majors are possible, but are they very accomodating to students who wish to double major or is it very difficult?</p>
<p>For instance, if I eventually decide (I know I could change my mind, just giving an example) that I like both Philosophy and Women's Studies, would I have a lot of trouble in declaring a double major?</p>
<p>Sorry for being such a newbie =)</p>
<p>it's incredibly common--almost every senior I know is double majoring</p>
<p>k thanks for humoring me!!! hehe</p>
<p>At least 35% of the students double major, it is common and easy.</p>
<p>okay thanks a lot!</p>
<p>I that that Women's Studies has got to be the easiest major to have for a second major. I'm not saying Women's Studies is the easiest academically (no way at all), but it's just so interdeparmental. Meaning that some people take classes just to fill distribution reqs, but with Women's Studies, there are classes in EVERY distribution except for math/science. Therefore if you want to have a Women's Studies major, you won't have to take a bunch of classes outside of your major to fill distribution requirements. Again, I do not mean that Women's Studies is the easiest major, but definitely the most convenient in terms of fulfilling those requirements!</p>
<p>definitely double major, with Wellesley's great academics in almost every department, you won't have a hard time finding great professors for any subject you wish to major in~</p>
<p>As a bit of clarification for everyone who's beginning to think about course plans, you can't double major with a minor. You can have a single major, a major + minor, or a double major. Those are the only options for declared concentrations.</p>
<p>Although I've heard students complain that they ought to be able to triple major or have other numbers of concentrations, the above options provide a good balance between breadth and depth of knowledge. They're also quite manageable in the allotted four years of full-time coursework.</p>
<p>Faculty, staff, and students are supportive of challenging course-loads: double-majors are common! Make tentative plans and be open to changes--just keep in mind that no one at Wellesley can major in IR and English and minor in music :)</p>
