Any double majors out there?

Question

.. and how are you handling it? I'm majoring in public relations and travel and tourism. Is anyone else doing this/or heard of anyone that has combined these two?

Answer 1

I heard of someone with the same majors, they said its hard/stressful. Don't know how you take a workload so it could be different for you.

Answer 2

I didn't do a double major, so I am not sure how hard it would be, but I did do a quadruple major, and it wasn't that bad.  Finals week was always a little interesting.  End of my sophomore year I had 6 finals in less than 24 hours (I had yet to learn that you could reschedule finals).  I still had time for girls, varsity sport, parties, student government, clubs, and internships... no sleep, but you can sleep when you are dead, right?  PR and Travel/Tourism seems like a pretty complimentary combo, it should be fun, and one word of advice, try as hard as you can to stay on top of your workload.  If you let work pile up you will quickly become overwhelmed and then life will get hard.  Best of Luck!

Answer 3

I double majored. I found the most effective way to get through it was to get the core requirements for one major to count as my electives for the other. I did this by petitioning each department through my academic adviser. It helps that my majors were similar, so the courses had some overlap. I managed to graduate on time in four years because I did not have to take any additional elective courses.
