Thoughts on double majoring?

College Majors

<p>i'm currently a junior, european studies major.</p>

<p>As it turns out, if things happen as expected, I will need 5 upper div and 3 lower div courses to double in history.</p>

<p>if i take minimum 3 course/12 unit loads the rest of junior and senior year, i will be 'on time' with no minor. should i take 4 courses/16 unit loads, i'll be one quarter early. However, that will still put me a MINIMUM of one quarter late, plus it'll make my life here that much more difficult.</p>

<p>is it worth it to go through the extra pain of another major if they are both generic liberal-arts majors?</p>

<p>If you’re interested in the history courses you’d have to take (and really, needing 8 more classes isn’t being “close” to a double major, so don’t feel like your blowing off an easy opportunity to pick up something else), than go for it. Would you have to write a thesis for either one?</p>

<p>Side note…I don’t think the history major with the euro studies will make you any more or less marketable, so I don’t think looking at it from that perspective would be terribly useful.</p>
