Double Major

<p>You don’t <em>need</em> a double-major. You don’t <em>need</em> a minor. If you take a couple of courses in something, or if you have a proficiency in something like programming, then you put on your resume that you have a proficiency in programming! If it’s useful to a potential employer, they’ll say so!</p>

<p>Majors and minors aren’t like pre-stamped passes to say that you’re able to do something. Usually, if you give <em>examples</em> on your resume of things that you’re proficient in, then during your interview, they might ask you some questions if they think that your skill will give you some sort of advantage. If you walk like a duck and you talk like a duck, then they’re going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re a duck. Or that you can write VB macros, or something.</p>

<p>So take the courses in the minor or the other major that you’re interested in, then it’ll be plenty. If you just have to take <em>one</em> or <em>two</em> more courses in order to get your second major or your minor, then if you want to, go ahead and get it. If it’s something you want to do for <em>you</em>, then do it. But don’t get a second major or a minor for better career opportunities.</p>
