Can I have more than one college major?

Double majors are pretty common these days. Often, there's a difference between semester credits and quarter credits. For semester credits, if it's 12 credits to graduate, perhaps a double major may require 135 or 14 credits. You may have more credits than are required in order to graduate, but you would be graduating with two majors. A lot of times, students may want to double. For example, if they're a poli-sci major, they might have a double major with business. There are different areas in academics that complement each other, and students, rather than taking the isolated elective that doesn't really wind up into anything, want to string their courses together in the same line, and then wind up with another major. The other option is a minor, where a student can take a certain number of credits in a certain subject area, and then have a minor that goes along with their major as well.
