<p>Hey
Just a random thought, a friend of my sister's is triple majoring at RIT thats right triple! :-0 in 3 of the photography majors...
is that really possible? she said he took a lotta ap's and studies over the summer but is that really possible? what will you gain in the future putting yourself through all of that work? damn!
thanks once again</p>
<p>I know someone who's triple majoring at the local state school in history, psychology, and Secondary education. I think she wants to be able to pass as many certs as possible to be more competitive in the job market (since social studies teachers aren't in high demand).</p>
<p>how is it possible though? by taking ap courses and studying during the summer in college? or by adding an extra year?</p>
<p>If a few of your courses count for multiple majors, it makes it a little easier. Otherwise, you can fulfill distributive requirements with AP credits, leaving you free to take whatever you want, and if you choose to take all your courses in 3 areas, you could do 3. Maybe you'd have to take an extra course here or there.</p>
<p>She took a lot of her GenEds at the local community college during the summer.</p>
<p>Triple major??!!</p>
<p>o.O</p>
<p>It would take lots of AP/IB credits, summer work, extra classes, etc.</p>
<p>Unless of course, one went to triple major in chem, bio, and biochem :p</p>
<p>its definitely possible if you manage your time properly and begin taking your major requirements as a freshman.
i know a couple of people who have done so, in fields that relate to each other (i.e. international relations/japanese/economics)</p>
<p>While i am not against triple majoring I am much more interested in promoting submatriculation for I think it raises the challenge. Why would a student want to go broader when you could choose to go higher? Many undergrads w/ advanced standing can and do take graduate level courses and also gain admittance to graduate programs which they do while finishing their undergrad degree. Many schools w/ graduate departments offer these programs and I encourage folks to investigate the opportunities.</p>
<p>If all 3 are in photography, it's possible because the foundation courses and major requirements are shared by all 3. The student just uses his photo electives & free electives to fill the major requirements for the other 2 photo majors. Gives a wider spectrum of photo classes, more exposure, better portfolio of work?, better job prospects. Would the student actually graduate with 3 degrees or is this more likely a BFA with 2 other photo concentrations/minors?</p>
<p>This would seem ideal for the student who doesn't know what area he wants to focus on. I would think by graduation, he would have a better idea what interests him, but it does allow for more job opportunities. RIT has a liberal arts core also. I believe it's about 50 credits.</p>
<p>Some schools are set up to make this possible and easier than others. Note there is a difference between a double major and a double degree, or a triple major and 3 bachelors degrees. For something like the triple major, you do the general core requiremnts once and then meet all the requirements as specified by the department for each "major". So if you take enough classes and the right classes, you can do it. It might take more than 4 standard years - summer classes help and AP definitely helps. Some schools are set up to allow this, some aren't.</p>
<p>There is one guy that is receiving 4 thats right 4 degrees (3 BFA's and 1 BSC) for photography at RIT (biomed, advertising, photojournalism, and fine art) has plenty of job ops and coops
HES Crazy</p>
<p>what do you guys think of that? anyone recommend doing that?</p>
