    Abstract In recent years, double major programs have gained a momentum in Algerian higher education by allowing students to study two different fields simultaneously in three years instead of six years. This program aims to offer students diverse competencies and skills that prepare them for job opportunities. Despite these benefits of a double major program, it also has various challenges due of the difficulty of managing two majors at the same time. This study investigates the challenges encountered by second-year students pursuing the English and Management double major program at the University of M’sila. Using mixed method, classroom observation, a questionnaire, and an interview, to collect data from both students' and teachers' perspectives. The collected findings indicate that students face serious and extreme challenges, including administrative issues and organizational problems. The chosen sample indicated that there are extreme struggles related to linguistic and psychological issues that lead to a significant number of students quitting the double major program.
