I am currently planning on majoring in both Business Administration (Human Resources Management), and Psychology (with a focus on business, or something like that). I am from a small private school and will also be graduating with honors.

I do understand that both majors are fairly different and have a very small area of overlap in terms of job requirements and classes. I planned this in under the assumption that having both business and a psychological side to working with people would make future grad school applications or job employment searches easier.

I am also doing some side activities (as in, not just focused on academic), and will be involved in my school’s band (EC), marketing&business clubs (EC+Insight into businesses), psychology club, and community service clubs.

I have a few questions…

How beneficial is my double major?
Is my line of reasoning of Psy+Bus being appealing for jobs reasonable?
What would be a beneficial minor for me to take?
