From an email I received from the SDSMT Alumni Assoc.:
More students in the South Dakota public university system appeared to be interested in careers in engineering, nursing, and history, according to the latest data on major enrollment trends from the South Dakota Board of Regents. Four bachelor degree-level majors – history, mechanical engineering, nursing, and civil engineering – experienced at least a 15 percent increase in enrollments when data is compared between 2002-03 and 2005-06 for those degree programs with more than 300 majors in the South Dakota system. Two other bachelor-degree majors had at least a 15 percent decrease in enrollments – computer science (25 percent) and elementary education (19 percent). The report also noted that 86 percent of the students in the public university system have a single major, while the remaining 14 percent were seeking two, three, or four different majors, which is consistent with data reported in the last four academic years.

Whoo hoo! I'm in the minority!
The most impressive double major I've yet witnessed was a EE/Chemistry major. I can see a EE/CENG or a Chemistry/Biology. But I can't imagine there's more than a couple of classes in that one that overlap.
