Is it possible to have two major and two minors in college?

I want to major in Kinesiology and Sports Medicine and minor in nutrition and psychology. I have the intention of a physical therapist and later to be a sports coach. I do not know if that's possible? lol .. idk that sounds like too much?

It is too much for most people. Note that you may need at least 10-12 courses for larger and 6-7 for a minor, and also will have another 15 or so courses in general education, unless it took a lot of AP courses to replace them in high school. A normal courseload would be a total of 40 courses for your 4 years in college. Most people, if not only one non-major and minor, which is more common, or it will NOT double minor, or one major and one minor. Once in a while to find someone who has both a double and a minor, but I've never heard of someone with two major and two minors. Remember that if you choose one of these specialties are likely to include required courses in some of the other areas. No need to complete a major or minor in others.
