<p>I am considering a triple major, which intially sounds very hard and I shouldn't go ahead with it. </p>
<p>Majors: Economics, Environmental Studies, Math
Concentration: Statistics</p>
<p>The thing is, there is a lot of overlap in the scheduling and I can do this entirely in a normal courseload that would be no harder than if I were a single major. It would even be fun probably. </p>
<p>The thing I'm worried about is employers or grad schools thinking I wasn't focused enough. I have a strong passion for Econ and ES, and the math/stats support both of them. I am already on planning on taking all my electives as math/stats for grad school possibilities for Econ. </p>
<p>Is this ok? Will employers and grad schools see that I am very focused in my work, and I was just able to take the right classes and such? </p>
<p>If you have to pick more than one major, do Econ/Math, as they tend to go together very well. A triple major is pointless and may actually hurt you when it comes to job opportunities.</p>
<p>Math and statistics go very well with economics if you want to go to graduate school in economics. You could always use electives for environmental studies and/or environmental economics if you like.</p>
<p>Both Econ and ES require math, but IMO both don’t require getting a degree in Stats. Most would assume you knew the math needed, and a math major is as useful as an English major- it needs an application.</p>
<p>Bring your math major to a minor, or delete it. As for the Econ/ES path, have you seen a major that combines both? Like Sustainable Economics? It might be limiting, but at least it won’t be as suicidal as prior.</p>
