Should I double major in English and Psychology or Sociology and Psychology?
I majored in psychology and minored in sociology. They complement eachother the best but you need to worry about what is best for you in terms of personal growth, interest, and career. If you can handle the workload, English and Psychology will be a lot more challenging and will ultimately look better for jobs and grad schools. Sociology is a joke (I went to a very respected school (kenyon- check it out if you want), and even there, it was a joke... until you get to higher level classes reserved for majors and minors. So how about this, major in whichever one you like Best (psychology may be the easiest choice for several reasons including the fact that it may require classes that take a full 3 years to complete i.e. social vs. science psych classes that may only be offered in certain sections at certain times) whereas English you could pick up as a major or minor over time. I reccomend a minor in sociology as its hard to devote your entire school career to a subject that's so worthless post-grad. This way you still show the interest, can speak intelligently about sociology in an interview, but don't tie yourself down to something you're unsure of. To summarize, major in psychology and then either double minor in english and sociology or if you can't minor in english, do a psychology major, sociology minor and then decide what to do with english. best of luck, the sandman
Can you double majors in college?
College is the time you pick your career path and begin intense study of your chosen field. Most students focus on their college major because it’s the most important part of a college education. However, a college minor is the opportunity to explore a different field, pursue an interest or complement your major with a similar field of study. Yes you definitely can double or triple majors in college, however, it depends on your committment and talents and efforts you spend on the majors that you choose. Step 1 Start making your college minor decision by writing down a list of areas that interest you and areas that complement your college major. Research your choice colleges, or the college you’re attending, for minors that fit your criteria. Step2 Have fun with your college minor and choose something completely different from your major that excites you. This makes the extra work seem less tedious and lets you break away from the rigors of your regular studies. For example, if you’re majoring in marketing but enjoy criminal studies or the arts, minor in criminal justice, literature or art history. Step3 Pick a college minor that complements your college major. A minor in sociology complements a degree in psychology, a philosophy minor complements a literature major and a business minor complements an accounting degree. This helps you develop your major area of study and looks good on a resume. Step4 Choose a minor that stresses an area you struggle with and will benefit you after graduation. If you’re an English major but don’t write well, tweak your writing skills with a minor in creative writing. Step5 Plan a minor around your future career or travel goals. Pick a foreign language minor if you plan on traveling after graduation or working in an area with a high population of non-native speakers. Step6 Use a college minor for extra padding on your resume. If you lack work experience in your field, pick a college minor that enhances your college major and looks impressive on a resume. Any business or computer fields look good on a resume and help you land jobs.
Double major in English & Environmental Science?
Hey Girl! It is an extremely good idea to choose a major unrelated to your minor. For one thing, the point of college is to broaden your perspective and knowledge. For another, it is great to have a fall-back choice if you need to make a career after college. There also is no reason why you can't have a double major in a completely unrelated fields. As one answerer pointed out, English doesn't naturally lead to a particular job that is in demand right now. However, if you took a survey of college graduates, I'll bet that the majority are working in a field unrelated to their college major. Except for some specialists, like accounting degrees. The rest rely on OJT for their job. It would be good to use your college experience to broaden your mind as well as prepare for a career. Maybe you can make some contacts or get some co-op experience to help you prepare for a career. You don't need to rely solely on classes to prepare yourself for a job!
