Firstly, ask yourself “Why do I want to double major?” What benefits would it give you?

When I was in high school, I wanted to double major because I felt like it’d open more job prospects in case I didn’t like one. But now that I’m in my last year and a half of my degree, I’m just like, “Get me outta here, one degree and done!” Double majoring will usually require 150 hours at minimum, so that’s 5 years for your degree. That’s pretty doable theoretically. You could still get away with taking 15 hours each semester. But is it feasible realistically? This is up to things like your financial situation.
