Double majoring in the two is nothing to take for granted.

I wouldn’t necessarily say a love of animals is enough to major in Zoology. Zoology is just a division of Biology with your upper level courses related to the animal kingdom. That means for your first two or three years you’ll be taking biology, chemistry, and physics classes. Imagine the time studying for those combined with the time it takes to be a journalism major, constantly having papers to write.

I would recommend you major in Journalism and take some animal-related classes on the side, maybe a minor in Animal Science if your school offers it.
