I assume the 15 hour work week prediction she cites was a matter of robust efficiency making such things possible not government mandated 15 hour work weeks as she would likely support regardless of production efficiency.
it also would requires us to accept the standard of living of several decades ago.
it's true that at our current level of productivity & tech that we could support that with a far shorter average workweek. keynes was wrong about the level of affluence we would choose as a society and how much we'd be willing to work to support it

Nope. Snopes asked BU themselves and BU told snopes this:

We reached out to the university to clarify the issue: Did she earn a degree in international relations with a focus in economics? Or did she major in both international relations and economics? They indicated that the latter was true.
A spokesperson for the university told us: “She graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts degree with two majors in International Relations and Economics. Latin Honors awarded was cum laude that is not tied to an individual major but the degree.”
So she did indeed graduate with a double major in IR and Econ.
