A dual-degree program lets you earn two credentials in distinct fields. A double major results in one degree with two areas of specialization. Both options can help you access a wider array of career opportunities. Pursue the option that best fits your personal circumstances and academic/professional goals.

If you're set on working as a librarian, a dual degree might have a benefit if you're aiming to do something like be a subject specialist librarian at a university, law librarian, or medical librarian. I considered doing a dual degree MA in history and MLS, and I am so glad I didn't.
The terms dual degree and double major are used interchangeably by most people, so it's hard to determine what people are talking about. I finished two bachelor's degrees at UNLV - one in biology and one in philosophy. It was as easy as declaring a major with a bio counselor and a second major with a liberal arts counselor.
Thanks in Advance!! Dual Degrees are 2 degrees in different colleges or a BA + BS, while double majors are the same degrees in CLAS. A BS +MS would be a combined degree. You can definitely do it, depending on how many credits you transfer and you might need to take summer quarters. I graduated with my combined degree (B.S and M.S) in three years.
Dual degree programs at UW Madison typically refer to graduate programs (PhD/MD, JD/MBA, etc) as far as I know. You can definitely double major in CALS and L&S, I'm in Genetics and Conservation Bio. I know for CALS you can double major (in CALS or L&S) or do a dual degree (2 majors in CALS); a dual degree being a minimum of 150 credits.
As far as whether or not getting a second major in Mathematics will be worth it for you: Getting a second major in Math will probably take you an extra year. I'm not familiar with the Civil Engineering coursework, but I hear it's rougher than most of the Math courses I've taken in undergrad, (Modern Algebra and Advanced Calculus excluded), so

The main benefit of honors spec is the research project. The research project gives you a good networking opportunity with a prof, a potential reference letter if you’re premed, and is a much better learning opportunity than just more courses whose content you’re gonna forget anyway. If you do IMS though, I’d say that’s the same as a

To earn a second four-year bachelor’s degree (dual degree), currently enrolled undergraduates who have not yet completed their first bachelor’s degree must: Be accepted for the second major by the major department, Fulfill all major requirements for the second degree, and. Complete at least 30 additional semester hours at Rice beyond the
Double Major and Minor Opportunities. Real estate majors must choose a double major, dual degree major or minor to add specialized knowledge to their academic program. Some examples are listed below, but this list is not inclusive of all possibilities. Students pursuing a double major must meet with an academic advisor from each program
Just as a heads up, if the degrees are different (BSE vs BA vs BS) you have to go for a dual degree, which has a few different requirements. I went through this exact scenario. Also, I would recommend doubling in something that interests you. Maybe take a couple intro classes and see which is the most appealing to you. jamesy9868 • (2021
1.) The difference is one is both majors are with the same college and the other is each major is in a different college. (Note: University = collection of colleges) So, if you have one major from College of LAS and another major from College Engineering, then you have a dual degree and not a double major.

However, I learnt of the possibility of taking a double major in EE and CS in my intended uni. I was wondering what are some of the benefits of the double major and if it is worth taking it over a CE course considering the extra work that I would have to do (I do believe I can handle the extra work but I want to know if it is worth it). Thank you.

A double major is overkill, but it can also give you some extra flexibility. Another idea would be to focus on one major and 1-2 internships. Building connections in a single area will likely advance your career more than a second major. kataskopo. • 6 yr. ago. In my experience (I'm doing a double degree in math and optical engineering) the only major differences are that I have to complete two separate capstones and had to make sure I had all the gen eds for each - they were slightly different, math required a biology class.
