Is it better to double major with a BS and a BA or two BS's?

<p>I am a meteorology major, but I am concerned about the job prospects despite having the intention of going to graduate school. As this is a BS degree, would it be better to double major with a BA degree or another BS degree? Getting two BS degrees would be very difficult, but a lot of the math and science overlap anyways. Still, it'd be much harder.</p>

<p>Does it look better to employers have a BS and a BA rather than two BS's? I ask this because I know employers like a well-rounded person, and even though having two BS's is rather "impressive," does it show off the well-roundedness as much as a BA and a BS?</p>

<p>I'm considering the following, along with my meteorology BS degree:
-Environmental Sustainability (Planning and Management)
-Geographic Information Systems</p>

<p>Both have a BA and a BS option. </p>

<p>The degree title (BA or BS) matters less than what each version of the major contains, as far as course work that can prepare you for jobs or post-graduate study of interest. You may want to find out how the job prospects in these fields are, and what specifically employers are looking for.</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter. You have a BS, showing you’re solid in that area (though I’m not sure it would make a huge difference for BS/BA for a single major either). Past that, no one will probably even notice. It won’t be make or break for anything.</p>
