The other minors they offer would bring me closer to taking 18 credits and really wouldn't benefit me (psychology, math, biology, English, writing, history). The double major will barely bring Toward 120 credits.
The business administration degree will require too many additional credits For a double major.
I'm a little confused here. How are you planning on pulling a double major with "barely . . . 120 credits" when the CJ degree alone requires 125? Source:

Check out the 2014-2015 catalog. The AAS degree also covers the gen Ed credits The one you posted is the old one with a lot more requirements.

The core curriculum credits are already covered by the AAS degree.
COLLEGE CORE CURRICULUM (28-31 CREDITS)
(A number of categories may be fulfilled by AAS degree coursework. This will be confirmed by NSC Admissions upon receipt of an official AAS transcript.)
The school automatically awards you 60 credits from the AAS. So if you chose to use the proper courses for the General Ed for the AAS those would be included and you would have to do the remaining classes which is 30 credits. This would leave you with 30 electives to fill the void.

Interesting. I've never seen a case where one could double major with just 120 credits. I guess now I have.
If you can get two degrees for the same number of credits as one, definitely go for it.

Thanks I actually just applied there before they realize how easy it is to get two majors. That way I'm locked in on the 2014-2015 catalog. Working on my AAS at Western Nevada College in Spring.
