Philosophy a good major?

One major is obviously going to give you better odds of a better gpa than two majors, that is absolutely a fact and to argue against that is just asinine.

<p>I would be interested to see scientific studies testing your hypothesis above.</p>

<p>This survey found statistically significant difference in GPA between double and single majors:</p>

<p>Double majors were higher (3.5 vs. 3.39). </p>

<p>Granted, there aren’t proper controls for calling this a valid test of the hypothesis, but I think it can at least be said to call into question the categorical (and heretofore unsupported) assertion above.</p>
