Double major and a minor

My school makes a differentiation between a double and dual major. A double major requires taking all of the classes for 2 separate majors, while a dual major has about 2/3 of the classes from each major, focuses on combining and integrating the topics, and can be completed in 4 years. You might check if ASU offers such an option.
If not, though, I agree: spending the extra time and money for a double degree you probably won’t use likely isn’t worth it. Do they offer an anthropology minor? If you get any credits from AP/IB/dual enrollment, that would give you more flexibility to possibly do 2 minors.
I would keep an open mind, though. When I started college I was planning to minor in international affairs, but I ended up minoring in computer science, something I had never done before college.
