<p>@romanigypsyeyes: It’s not that uncommon for students to think of a “double degree” and a “double major” as the same thing. It’s not like we can help it; the two terms are and appear to be extremely similar to each other. Some might even misunderstand it as being an interdisciplinary degree, e.g. European Studies, Comparative Religion, etc.</p>
<p>@iluvpiano: I agree that there should’ve been further explanation of the differences between a dual degree and a double major. I think too many people, including myself, responded with the idea of a double major in our heads, especially considering that as one person pointed out, most universities will only confer one degree upon each student, in which the student indicates their primary major.</p>
