Double majoring vs. double minoring

College Majors
1

<p>Hello,
I am a soon to be junior in college and I am currently switching my major.
My question is it worth it to double major or do the usual 1 major and 1 minor. Or should I do a single major and double minor. I am currently looking to go into something with public health and politics, maybe something were I can make a difference while seeing the world. I am also thinking about grad school/ law school.So I am looking at Public Health and Political Science as majors or minor. If double minoring is a good idea I think I would want economics because I heard it compliments a Political science degree. I really need some advice here.
My options

  1. Political Science and Public Health double major with no minor
  2. Political Science major and Public health minor (or vice versa)
  3. Political Science major and double minor in Economics and Public Health</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>It’s much more useful to have a major than a minor. A major is a degree that can qualify you for something, wheras a minor is often used for hobbies or to show “I am interested in, or know a little about this.” I don’t know much about your specific options but #1 sounds best to me.</p>

<p>The double minor might be best, economics, political science and public health can go hand in hand.</p>
