Can I double in elementary education and human resource management


Can I double in elementary education and human resource management?
I really want to be an elementary teacher but am afraid I will not be able to find a job so I was wondering if it was possible to double major in human resource management as well as a backup plan.

It might be possible, you have to check with the school if they will allow it. This would be a difficult double major as the business curriculum core is extensive -- you would be required to take all the business prerequisites, business core, and then the major coursework in HR. Additionally, education majors have a similar extensive path of courses to take, as well as student teaching requirements. The two majors here have nothing in common so none of the required courses would be allowed to be shared in requirements. That's what makes it tough and sometimes schools forbid such double major combinations as there's a high likelyhood of washing out. Usually double majors are related in some way. For example, a double major in HR and marketing would work perfectly since they are in the same business core. Likewise, elementary education and art would go together because they are relevant to one another.
