What is a good double major for someone majoring in Film? (Media Studies)?

[kb108]

I want to major in Film, but I would also like a practical degree that could help me get a job while I'm working towards my goal. What degree would compliment or go well with Film? A few options that I am considering are business, engineering, and computer science. Business could help me if I ever open a production company or something along those lines; Engineering would be good and possibly help with special effects; and computer science could be fun. I do enjoy each of these options. I am definitely majoring in Film and just need something to fall back on. So, what would you choose if you were in my position?

I think it is great you are thinking so practical. Have you thought of Entrepreneurship? That could definitely help you out if you ever wanted to open your own business.

Also, with any business degree you can really do anything- it is more that you committed yourself and went to school and graduated than what the specifics of the major are.

I think your best bet is to decide exactly what you want to do with film and get another major in something that will help you with that so it does just not sit unused. You could definitely have the upper edge and market yourself by getting your double major related to what you want to do in film.
