Double major or minor?

Will one look better than the other on a resume?

Depends on the job - if you are applying to a business-side position (like competitive intelligence or engineering sales) then the minor would be better. If you are going for a technical position, then the double major may look better. Honestly, I think the double major has very little real value under any circumstances - it is better to pick one major and rock it.



Also, which one would be more likely to get you into grad school at a decent university?

Neither. The business minor is completely useless here, but grad programs are very narrow and focused and are not going to be impressed at the slightly increased breadth of a double major, especially if getting it means sacrificing any depth or research.
