Is it possible to major in biology and have a minor in anthropology even though they are in different colleges (A&L and science) ? Also, how difficult would this be to accomplish in four years?

Short answer: Yes. Start early.

I defer responsibility for the long answer to someone else.

This sort of this is fairly simple to do in four years. The fact that they are in different colleges does not create any problems either. Just start early because you may be able to get a double major. And don't forget that you can also sign up for a minor or second major and not complete it in order to have better class selection. It sounds a bit strange but I know a lot of people who are doing this sort of thing.

HTboy4, i think your combination works, but unfortunately, there are not that many minors outside of A&L, so others who are reading these posts, remember there are not a lot of minors at ND.

If you have a good amount of credits going in, would it be possible to double major in two different fields. For example, math and English or computer science and Spanish.

Yes, it is very possible. Just be sure and start early and build yourself a rough roadmap of the next four years to see if you can feasibly do everything.

Now, getting something like a dual degree is difficult. In a dual degree you must meet both colleges requirements. This sort of thing requires very early planning, AP credit, and summer coursework.
