Hello,

When you take two courses at the same time, whether it’s in the same college or two different ones, then we say that you’re pursuing a double-major. This is different from studying a dual-degree, in which case a student is awarded two majors, each to a different degree. Similarly, you can opt to study a triple-major, which means three subjects that will count towards the award of one degree or three different degrees.“What are the benefits of getting a triple major degree?”- In the US, the benefit may be greater initial employability, if your fields are in demand. But, it depends. Unless the 3 majors are closely related, it would - or should - be very demanding. The usual practice is to major in one and minor in a couple others. Many people drop double-majors by the time they get to the tough courses. As for benefits, it might be a triple-ticket for some particular field of work that you want. Say theatre/music/dance, or design/painting/ceramics, or history/journalism/poli-sci. The workload to complete such combos would be very heavy. I encourage you to pick one as a major and the others as minors. Remember, you don’t really need a course to study a subject you just want to know. You can read anything. If you’re trying to backstop employability too much, you may give up direction and depth.

Hope it helped.

Dear Aspirant,

Earning triple measures increases your career prospects and opens up a world of possibilities for you.After graduating you will start knocking at employers door seeking job.For those with only a single major ,that means they have no other option apart from seeking job which is related to only one degree.

Thank you
