Undergraduates are declaring additional majors at rising rates to bolster employability in a volatile labor market, Hechinger Report analysis shows. At institutions such as the University of Wisconsin–Madison, double‑majoring rose 25 percent over a decade; nationwide, about 12 percent of graduates now earn multiple credentials. Students and advisors say a second major provides a hedge against uncertain job prospects and offers a broader skill set. At the graduate level, MIT Sloan’s Class of 2027 profile shows parallel shifts: Sloan increased its international share to 42 percent, preserving post‑pandemic global demand, but U.S. diversity metrics remain flat—an ongoing effect of the 2023 Supreme Court affirmative‑action ruling. Business schools are balancing international recruitment gains with efforts to restore domestic representation. The coalescence of more double majors and changing MBA class composition signals programmatic pressure on advising, curriculum capacity and workforce alignment as institutions respond to student demand for clear career pathways.
