I have a double major in international relations and economics and am hoping to get 3 specializations done (political economy, latin america/caribbean studies, and international development) in 4 years. All of my classes triple-count and almost everything overlaps really well so it is not hard to do. I am studying abroad for 1 summer and I transferred in 21 credits through AP/local college.

There are people with even more complicated majors/minors/specializations. My resident mentor last year was an international relations james madison and pre-med lyman briggs majors (with essentially zero overlap) and she finished in 4 years (she’s rather crazy). At least half of my friends are double majoring…so it is definitely an option and very possible if you are willing to spend the time scheduling/talking to advisers and finding overlap in programs/make the effort in classes.
