2 BA degrees

[dfrecore]

I’ve been weighing this dbl major idea and for what’s its worth (not much , cause I’m not an expert or even proficient in the topic of college degrees and programs.) imo its gonna take me 8 additional courses (24 credits that don’t overlap) to dbl major. Most masters programs are 10 courses 30 credits. 2 more courses , granted they will be tougher. A masters is probably more valuable in the professional world than a dbl major Although I have more expensive to get. ( again , I offer no evidence to this just my opinion ). So I’m thinking cruise on through ba then get masters if I still feel like more school. FWIW.
Now for others dbl major may be the way to go. I know someone who was a dbl major in finance/ Mgmt and it has worked out very well for him. So to each his/her own.

I think it has a lot to do with the majors, and the ultimate goals of someone, as to whether or not it's of value.  For your friend with Fin/Mgt, I would say the Finance degree was probably pretty valuable whether or not they did the Management portion, so it's hard to tell how much value that extra part brought.  

For a BACS, I'm not certain anyone who wants to hire a person with a CompSci degree is saying "I sure hope they took some additional courses in the Humanities."  They just won't care about that.

A double-major is not really an issue in and of itself, it's just that I've been on here for many years, and I see WAY too many people get caught up in the excitement of getting a degree, they do all of this planning for a double-major, or adding associates degrees, and then fizzle out when they haven't even finished a single degree.  Yes, if you're getting a BALS and can get an associates in the same cycle without doing an extra course, great.  But so many times, they just don't finish anything at all - they would have been much better off 99% done with 1 degree and just a capstone to take, then to be 50% towards 2 different degrees.  They let the double-degree stop them from getting a single degree.

So, if you're going to get a degree, work your way through it and then decide at the end if you want to postpone finishing it to get another major, or just finish.  You'll be in a much better place at that point to make a decision.
