Double Major Questions?
I'm going into College soon and I've come to the conclusion that I want to double major in Archeology and Zoology. All I know is that I can't chose between the two and I want to do each equally. What exactly does this entail other than the fact that I'm going for two degrees? I hear it's easier when the two degrees are related, but these aren't. Can anyone give me any info on; how much work is involved, if it's even feasible with two unrelated areas, money, time in school etc Anything would be immensely appreciated.

Colleges expect a certain number of credits for each major, but you should be able to fit in both majors and still have room for other requirements, such as English Comp, and electives. In other words, you shouldn't need to take extra courses or go for extra semesters.
There actually may be some room for overlap. Unless your college has an Archaeology major, you'd more likely major in Anthropology. You would take ethnology and biological antro courses as well as archaeology courses, and the bio anthro courses might be countable towards your Zoology credits.
Source(s): I got my bachelor's degree in Anthropology-Zoology (as an interdepartmental major) and stopped one course short of a double major in that and Psychology. My choices had more overlap, but I had plenty of room for other electives and such. - Anonymous8 years ago
The good news is that you could probably do both, the bad news is that you will almost certainly be working fast-food when you graduate. I'm not saying this to be mean. It's just how it is.
