Double Major on Resume

How do I properly include a double major on a resume? I have seen that some people have said to separate the two majors with a comma since saying the word "and" may confuse a person. Would a "/" work?
Example given:
I double majored in Finance and General Management
UNIVERSITY OF ________
B.A. in Finance/General Management - December 2011
GPA: 3.79/4.0

For me, the slash actually suggests its one major. I would use 'and' or '&'.

I'd go with "&". The slash does make it seem like one major.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd go with &. "And" is often used for single majors.

Thanks guys. Seems like there is not a concrete answer but I'll definitely leave out the "/" and the "and". How about this?
