<p>Is this impossible? It seemed to be said that you couldn't double major in two natural sciences? Is this right? I'm a little confused by their wording</p>
<p>there is more than enough overlap in those subjects to double major in both</p>
<p>No, I thought I saw on the site they said you couldn't double major in two natural sciences, but I wasn't sure, I was confused, does anyone know for sure? :confused:</p>
<p>From the advising manual: "Double Majors with a Natural Sciences Area Major : Only courses that fulfill the lower-level distribution requirements (15 H and S credits, including 100- and 200-level courses) for the Natural Sciences Area majors, including the Behavioral Biology options, may be used to fulfill the requirements of a second major or a minor. The second program must be outside the natural sciences and be approved by the area major adviser." I'm not exactly sure what constitutes a Natural Sciences Area major though</p>
<p>any N credit is natural science</p>
<p>I'm not sure what that guide is saying but I dont see why you couldn't double major in them. You can major/minor if you can't double major. the beauty of hopkins is that with advisor approval you can do anything you want, so im sure it would be easy to convince that person to let you double major</p>
<p>yeah...a majority of the advisors here dont advocate double majoring at all. sometimes they have a good point. the majors offer a great deal of flexibility and allow students lots of opportunities to take courses outside of their major. instead of double majoring, they expect us to take advantage of this by just getting our hands dirty in all sorts of disciplines. what they dont want us to do is to get into the nitty gritty of just two.</p>
