Double major vs. high gpa

College Majors Business Majors

<p>I’m currently a sophomore at UC - Berkeley intending to major in economics or business. But, I feel that these my current major is too easy and there’s not really a lot of requirements so I could just cruise through the next two years. So, I’m thinking about pursuing a double major or minor in math/statistics/computer science as to take advantage of my time in college. But, double majoring in either of the courses mentioned could possibly lower my gpa.</p>

<p>I’m wondering which option looks better to employers and will give me more opportunities when I graduate? Is it better to keep one major and maintain a really high gpa (3.8+) or double major in something technical and possibly lower my gpa?</p>

<p>It depends on how much lower you expect your GPA to be. Below 3.2? If yes, then do only one major and maintain a high GPA. BTW, you are only a sophomore, which means that you probably didn’t take upper (harder) classes yet, so do not rush to make a decision.</p>
