Can one major in more than one field of study?

Question

I'd like to know if people in college can have more than one major.

Answer 1

Yes you can minor in something like health and major in something like administration. Meaning you go to four years of school and study each subject for two years. You should probably ask a counselor at a college if there are more options like that.

Answer 2

Yes, pretty much every college allows at least two majors, and some will allow you to take as many as you want - as long as you don't mind taking longer to finish your degree.

If the two majors have a lot of overlap in the courses - like biology and chemistry, or physics and math - it won't take you any extra time to finish.  If there's no overlap - like physics and art - and you still have to take general education requirements, this might take you more than 4 years to complete at a regular college (some don't have gen ed requirements, like Smith, Amherst, and Kenyon, so it's easier to finish additional majors).

Answer 3

Absolutely.

Answer 4

Yes, although it can be difficult. It is called a double major.

Answer 5

Answer 8

Yes, you can double major, but depending on how many credits you start college with, it may take you a little longer to finish.

Answer 11

yes but you will need to study a much wider base and you will only get a certain level of cross accreditation.

My sister studied two degrees, and had two majors, BCA (commerce and administration) majoring in economics, and BSc (science) majoring in mathematics (statistics)
