Should I double major or get my masters?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Assuming the college I'm going to gives me some credit for the dual-enrollment/AP classes that I have taken, there's a pretty good chance that I may be able to finish a four-year degree in less time. Since I have a four-year scholarship, I decided to get as much out of those four years as possible. I've decided that I'll either get a M.A. in Political Science or double major (Political Science & Engineering).</p>

<p>I know those two majors seem like an odd choice, but I'm genuinely interested in both, and if I majored in Political Science only I'd sincerely miss math & science (I know I'd have to take macro/microeconomics and the like but I mean I could miss calc and physics). Engineering would probably increase my job prospects too.</p>

<p>On the other hand, a masters seems generally more impressive than two bachelor degrees, and Engineering would probably be very demanding. There also wouldn't be much overlap between the requirements for both majors. My scholarship doesn't cover summer courses and I don't want to take 21 credits/semester.</p>

<p>Any advice?</p>

<p>Do both, of course.</p>

<p>I considered double majoring in engineering and physics, but now I think I’ll go for an accelerated Masters degree instead (taking additional credit from my AP exams). Double majoring seemed frivolous lol; it won’t really advance my career, and I’m limited in funding so taking extra classes would seem like a waste of money. I might also pursue an MBA, in which case I’d have no room left for a third major.</p>

<p>I’ll see if I can take a few extra physics classes for the fun of it, but I won’t be going for the degree.</p>
