<p>Pretty strait forward... i am sure, plenty of people are interested in double majoring (including myself), and i understand that double majoring usually depend purely on a persons style, i do not mean for this thread to mandate the majors that must go with each other, but to suggest a general basis for students to begin their selection. Could anyone help me start a running list of majors that complement each other and why they do so? uhm i suppose the same could be done with minors as well, thanks for your support...</p>
<p>format:</p>
<p>1) 1st major
2) 2nd major/1st minor</p>
<p>"and why they complement each other here "</p>
<p>A common one is English/Creative Writing because they are so closely aligned. DD1 is thinking of doing that.</p>
<p>Years ago DW doubled in Finance/Math. It worked very well. She got interviews based on the Finance major and was selected for jobs based on the Math. It was a differentiator.</p>
<p>Science is full of this - mathematics/physics, stats/biology, computer science/biology, microbiology/biochem, biology/physics. These are great because all science students are required to take basically the same pre reqs so there really isn't much extra coursework for another major.</p>
<p>My wife had an interesting double major - art history/chemistry. The ultimate goal is art restoration.</p>
<p>At my d's orientation, they told them that double majors only made sense if the two fields were unrelated, and the more unrelated the fields, the better.</p>
<p>engineering/business
Knowledge of both areas is helpful because engineering is done based on business decisions to some extent. Alos opens more doors for career.</p>
<p>psychology/math-statistics
psych uses statistics</p>
<p>psychology/biology
Psychology comes from biology.</p>
