<p>I will be starting college at the University of Iowa in 2015. I have been admitted to the college of Liberal Arts & Sciences as a Cinema major, with an interest in the Journalism & Mass Communication major (because you can only apply to be in the major after two years in the school). I plan to minor in English, as I really like writing and literature and would like to possibly be an author in the future (plus Iowa City is the #1 literature city in the country!).
My main goal is to work in film as a film editor or director or script writer or producer (almost all of it interests me, but editing more so), so the cinema major is definitely my main one. Journalism & Mass Communications is more so my safe major, as I'm more likely to get a job in it than in film or as an author, and it is still related to what I like. I'm now pondering the idea of bumping up the English minor to a major, as I'd be able to take more writing classes, so that would give me a triple major. All three are Bachelor of Arts, so I'd be able to get a single degree and not have to worry about taking more hours for a second or third degree. I already plan to stay for the summer semesters, and for my course credits to be a little higher than the average, but not anywhere in/close to the 20 hours mark.</p>
<p>I feel that if I major in all three, I will get a broader knowledge of each field than in a minor and be able to use it more so. So, is the idea of a triple major wise considering all three are fields I love equally and sort of tie in together, plus they'd all work to the same degree? Or should I just have one or two majors and one (or two) minors?</p>
