Should I pursue a double major?

You should double major or at least minor. I talk about this in another thread.

Data analysts/scientist benefit from having some kind of domain knowledge. This could be in a variety of fields including ones outside of business (STEM, a social science or humanity like geography, economics, etc). This will help solve problems that are the subject matter of the field you land in.

A second path is this…entry level analyst job postings frequently want a business degree like finance, marketing, accounting, or supply chain plus analytics skills. So, dual majors help you get that job more than a minor.
