^ Like what Rlhh said.

Basically in ADP, you have to take core (whatever major you wanna take up) and general education (humanities, science, math etc.) subjects. Bear in mind that the courses you take in your 1st 2 years in ADP will be used towards building up credits for you to graduate.

So if you intend to double major, you'd have to take up the core subjects of both majors, plus the general education classes.

Job prospects depends heavily on what field you're going into, and how well you're able to present yourself ^^

I think that's probably because Taylor's wanna keep their student's grades on a certain level. They'd rather see their students excel in one major, have them prove they're able to cope with it, then only allow them to take up a 2nd major. But afaik, it's entirely possible to do a double degree should you be able to cope well smile.gif

I'm not from Inti, so i wouldn't know tongue.gif If you want to be sure, better talk directly with their staff. And i don't mean their marketing staff. Talk to their dean of ADP if you can, that'll give you a clearer picture smile.gif

Hmm... A lot? Skeptical, but then again, i wouldn't know the numbers considering that i'm not from Inti wink.gif Try asking around in the Inti thread (if there is one). Their own ADP students should know best what most of their friends are taking ^^

A major and a minor would be the most common route for most.

I'm a psychology major, for now. There are a couple of colleges in the US that i've applied to with no traditional majors required, i.e. i am free to integrate psy and say perhaps art, and design my own degree which incorporates both instead of doing a double degree, with psy and art as separate subjects.

Just as an example smile.gif

I'm from Sunway's ADTP smile.gif

Like i said, i was just giving an example of the possibility of an independent studies degree. Like psy and theatre, i've read of a student whose final year paper was on the therapeutical effects of theatre on patients. Or something like that.

It's more flexible, and not considered as a double degree. So the counting of credit requirements differ according to what concentration you're doing.

It's not exactly common in the US for students to do such an unstructured degree. Most people stick to the traditional major minors as far as i'm concerned smile.gif Nobody around me have even heard of such colleges. Check out Hampshire College if you're really interested ^^
