<p>Hi All</p>
<p>I would like to know what are the pros and cons of Dual major undergraduate accounting and finance.</p>
<p>P.S I want to pursue another major because I have time 'space' in schedule to fulfill the requirements of Finance. I am also interested in the field as well</p>
<p>Should the 2 nd major compliment the 1st or they should be very different</p>
<p>Would it help/increase my chances of being picked up by BIG 4 in accounting</p>
<p>Any feedback will be appreciated</p>
<p>No.</p>

<p>Accounting would complement the finance major if you want to end up in asset management, but I don’t think finance would complement accounting if you wanted to end up in Big 4. </p>
<p>However, if you are going for those 150 credits (which you should if you want to be in the Big 4), adding a finance major would be relatively easy to do, and would not hinder the application.</p>
<p>I agree with Maxellis. Top Accounting firms will need Accounting majors who can reach 150 credit hours.</p>
<p>An Acctg/Finance double major will not make you look more competitive unless it gets you to 150 hours.</p>
<p>However if you were looking to get into Finance, an Acctg/Finance double major would look pretty good to financial firms.</p>
