<p>I am planning on pursuing a double major, but literally have no idea how double or triple major works. i am going out of state, so I stil have about 3 months until orientation, where I can inform my self better at how this is offered at the university i will attend. However, can someone explain how this works? Mainly, does the student as to take all the courses required to complere both majors? If, so how com some people are triple majoring, isn't there an overwhelming numbre of classes? Also, does double majoring affect your tution?</p>
<p>And lastly, does every university offer d/t majors and can the majors be unrelate, persay biology and business administration, or computer programming?</p>
<p>Some schools, like GW, will let you double-count classes which means you can take one class that will satisfiy requirements in both majors. Some other schools won't let you do that. </p>
<p>Extra costs, restrictions, special requirements are specific to each university. I would contact an advisor at your university.</p>
<p>The main issue with triple majoring (especially in unrelated fields) is the great number of courses required (in addition to general ed courses or general interest courses which people take at most schools). I think many schools allow overlap, but it's usually it's fairly minimal, unless the things are closely related. Time is one big reason why most don't triple major, lack of reason to do it is another. Cost is often a big one.</p>
<p>Many schools also restrict the amount of overlap so that, for example, one can't get 2 double degree in something like BA, Business and BS, Business Admin or BA in Music with an Applied Voice concentration and a BM in Vocal Performance. At the same time, dbl majors like Psychology-Sociology, Music Education-Music Performance and Athletic Training-Phys Ed Teacher are oftentimes encouraged.</p>
