Finance-Econ ?

<p>Is it worth to Double Major in Finance and Econ. Double Majoring will definately bring down my GPA a bit because while all my classmates take easy classes to boost their gpa, I will have to take Econ classes instead. Small GPA Sacrifice or Double Major?</p>

<p>you'd be better off double majoring in something useful, such as accounting + finance</p>

<p>my school doesnt offer that...The best double major they offer is anything with business and Econ. So Finance and Econ is what im thinkin but my gpa will be sacrificed a little. I dont know if its worth it.</p>

<p>Why would it be sacrificed?</p>

<p>I mean while I can take easier classes, I have to instead take upper level economics classes. Im assuming that a 101 in any subject will be easier than all upper level econ classes. So lets say the difference will be an easy A to a not so easy A-B.</p>

<p>an easy A and not so easy A are the same grade, don't be such a study whore, have fun in college.</p>

<p>maddskillz, don't you go to rutgers-nb? if you do, you can't major in business and minor in econ. i was planning on doing so also :T</p>

<p>actually you can, you cant double major within the business school such as Finance and Acccounting but Economics is a Major Offered by Rutgers College and Finance is a Major Offered By Rutgers Business School. So instead of fulfulling a Minor you can instead fulfill a Major and all the requirements will be satisfied. So in essense, you wont need to fulfill a minor at rutgers college because you fulfilled a major instead.</p>

<p>Maybe you cant Minor in Econ with a Finance Major. But you can definately Major in Econ with Finance.</p>

<p>ohhh double major. i was considering that, but would you get two degrees upon graduation? a ba in econ and a bs in finance?</p>

<p>yeah i believe so, you should definately look into it. As for me, I dont think im doing it anymore because I feel as if i can maintain 3.6+ with just Finance rather than than, lets say, 3.4 with the Double Major. It all depends on the person. If your willing to put in a little extra effort, definately go for it. But definately look into it and see if you want to do that.</p>

<p>nevermind, i found out it on the website.</p>

<p>"Students completing two majors will receive one degree, and the type of degree (BA or BS) is determined by the major listed first."</p>

<p>i don't think it's worth it to double major if you won't even get 2 degrees when you graduate.</p>

<p>ohh man, forget the double major then</p>
