<p>Would it be advisable pursue a dual degree in addition to the BBA degree? If so, which ones and for which fields? For example, would getting a B.S. in psychology look good to management consulting firms? This is something I may be interested in doing.</p>

It seems like some of the stuff here can easily be applied to consulting work (look at Group III for instance).</p>
<p>Also, as a more general question, what are the primary reasons students have for pursuing dual degrees? One more thing: how much of a time constraint would doing one put on internships, extracurriculars, and networking?</p>
<p>You can get a B.S. in Psych? Either way, it’s not going to tip the scales too much. If you were considering adding a BBA to a psych degree, that would be another story. I think you should choose to study psychology if it interests you – the degree isn’t terribly marketable. I don’t mean to knock psych, I think it’s a very cool, interesting, and even useful subject; I just don’t think employers see it that way.</p>
<p>Psychology does interest me, but I need to decide if it is worth the time investment. From what I have been gathering, it seems like I’d be much better off going for the BBA alone and using that extra free time to involve myself in extracurricular activities and networking (and studying, it seems I have to get at least a 3.7 in Ross to be even somewhat competitive).</p>
<p>I would agree with needing to pursue extracurrics, but you’re going to be taking 4-5 classes a semester anyway, so if you like psych enough to major in it go ahead (unless you are going to need to be taking more classes than the typical student in order to pull off the major). Psych classes are also some of the easiest at the school.</p>
