Is it possible to double Minor with a major?

Yes you can. Is it possible in 4 years? Yes, but double minoring is usually pretty useless. Also, depending on your major it may need to be very carefully worked out to finish in time. At my school a double minor and a major is basically the same number of classes as a double major.

Minors that enhance your major are better if you plan on doing this anyway.

It depends entirely on where you go to school. At the Uni I attended? Yes, it was possible and could be done in four years—or less.

It helps, of course, if they have overlapping course loads, but is not necessary.

If you’re going that route, just go for a double major. A minor doesn’t do much for you.
Once you have your GE taken care of, then go for the major requirements. Going for 2 majors is a far better career choice than going for a major and 2 minors.

Anything is possible, provided that you are willing to put in the time.
I screwed around for the first two years in college but in my junior & senior yr, I ended up taking (on average) eight classes per semester (only because I discovered the joy of learning), when the normal course load was four. I still ended up with a double major and three or four minors.
You can acomplish anything so long as there is pleasure to be found in it. When you discover things you find life afirming, the rest comes pretty naturally and time losens it’s grip on limitations.
Best of luck to you.

Honestly, the only reason to minor in something is if you are truly interested in the topic. In that case, go ahead. However, in the working world, I don’t know if a minor in linguistics and philosophy will help you if your chosen career path is biology, for example.

Why do you want to have two minors, anyway? If you’re really passionate about those topics, go ahead and do your minors. But a double-major is probably more practical, if what you’re looking for is long-term benefits for your study.

@Bagardbilla—that’s incredible. Were the requirements for those minors hard to accomplish? & how much of a time investment was it? Most people I talk to tell me a double-major is already more than most people can accomplish.

Of course it is, but it means you will have take courses in your chosen major and minors and very little else.

I read that question and thought you were asking about bidding in contractn bridge. Redouble.

Minors are often not really worth the effort. Just go ahead and double major, If you’re doing something related, you might be able to get classes to count toward both.

What benefit do you think officially double-minoring will give you?

Honestly, in the real world, people care about what you majored in. I have yet to see much of anyone interested in my minor in English. The question is always “What’s your major?” not “What’s your major and anything else you too enough classes in to pick up a minor with?” If you’re planning on going to med, pharmacy or law school or something like that, a related minor might be a good thing. Other than that, its almost not worth the time. Its definitely not worth the time if its not related to your major in any way and doesn’t lead to a better understanding or generate real-world application ideas for what you’re learning and majoring in.

@cwilbur, Maybe they love what they are studying? That’s a benefit. I’m in biomedical sciences with a minor in chemistry, and I’m strongly considering double-minoring with BHS or psychology. Not because they help my degree (they do) but because I love the classes. And to be quite honest, if you’re only at university to get a good paying job then you’re there for the wrong reason.

OP: If you love what you’re double-minoring in, you will find that your passion for the subjects makes the workload much, much easier. Easier than somebody only majoring in something they hate or don’t care about. If you’re only doing them to make a grad school application look good… then double major. It looks slightly better.
