Duluth grad finishes 4 majors with 4.0 GPA

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- A Duluth college student has been honored for completing four majors in four years, with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average.

Brock Erdahl says he tried to carefully manage his time from the outset. He says he figured out exactly what he wanted to accomplish and planned accordingly.

He was rewarded Sunday when the College of St. Scholastica honored him as a quadruple major. He earned bachelor's degrees in history, political science, global culture/language studies and Catholic studies. For good measure, he also minored in French.

History professor Randall Poole calls Erdahl a rare talent whose research papers were of the highest quality.

And his mother, Lynn Erdahl, says her son's thirst for knowledge is "amazing."

A Duluth News Tribune reports that says Erdahl's long-term goal is to work in international relations.
