Double Major and Triple Minor??

College Majors

<p>Okay, i’m just gonna say upfront that I have no clue if this is possible or not, thats why Im asking. Would it be possible to double major in psychology and Art History, Minor in Early Childhood Education and Adolescent and youth developement and Arabic at the University of Alabama?</p>

<p>From what I see:
B.A. Art History - 33 credits
B.A. Psychology - 32 credits

  • general ed credits required by the college.</p>

<p>There are no early childhood ed, adol/youth dev, or arabic minors though.
Early Childhood Ed is just a major.
Adol/Youth Development is a concentration in the Family Studies major.
And they only have 4 arabic courses.</p>

<p>as riku92mr pointed out, a major under a BA program is typically 32-40ish credits (with at 4-credit classes, that’s 8-10 courses per major) and minors are typically 20-24 credits (5-6 courses). So take 32<em>2 + 20</em>3 and 40<em>2 + 24</em>3 and you get 124-152 credits plus general education requirements from the college, which can be anywhere from 40-60 credits. You’re looking at 124+40 minimum to 152+60ish max, so 164-212 credits…which is a lot. It’s possible. Will you have AP credits? Those would make a significant difference here. I will be a freshman this fall, and will enter a double degree program where with the combined credits for 2 majors (2 degrees- BM & BA) and general education requirements it will be 160 credits, after AP credits transfer in for 36 credits. If I can, I’m going to add a minor that will be 24 credits- total 184, and I will try to do it in 4 years. I might take 5 years- you could consider taking 5 years if you really want to do this double major and triple minor thing. Mine is probably going to take me 5 years and mine is less credits than yours would be (but consider that one of my majors is music performance, which requires more hours in those credits than most majors do, and there are several requirements- classes and recitals- that you have to do and take a lot of time but they don’t count for any credits, so that adds a lot too).</p>

<p>Look for schools with an open curriculum. It would be impossible if you had to take any general education classes, and even without them you’d probably have to cut out one or two of those.</p>
