<p>That is totally NOT true- you can easily double major in your Junior year.</p>
<p>Do you have any idea how many units you need to graduate and how many units a major is.</p>
<p>180 to graduate
60 upper div required
lets say you enter with 100 quarter units- (90 is min) </p>
<p>that is only 150-160 quarter units- you still have to do 20-30 more units to graduate- that is about 5- 8 classes. If you really wanted to double major then the extra 3-5 classes you may have to take above that would be worth it to you and you could complete in the summer.</p>
<p>I changed to IDS but primarily because i had to move and i had a lot of that major done already.</p>
<p>sociology - may be- alot of effort on your part will be required with compelling reasons etc ... it is impacted so it is unlikely but not impossible.</p>
<p>how about getting in a biz econ/econ, and double majoring in civil engineering?</p>
<p>orrrrrrrrrr</p>
<p>getting in as biz econ/econ, and declare double major in civil eng...but take out the biz econ/econ later...so basically, u just have a civil eng major...does this work with other majors as well??????????</p>
<p>You already asked this question and it's already been answered. It will be very hard to do and you might never graduate because hardly any of the coursework overlaps</p>
<p>I can understand the reasoning behind double majors, but what exactly is the point in minoring in something? Doesn't that essentially do nothing for you since you will technically not get a degree in it? Just curious. :)</p>
<p>It all depends. Some Grad schools want you to minor in something different than your major. If you want to get an MBA and lets say your a undergrad history Major adding a minor in math, statistics, or accounting really helps as it shows your prepared for their program. Most people think you need to be an economics or business major but the vast majority of MBA students have degrees in fields far from business. This is just one example.</p>
<p>well usually if you have an interest in a subject you may want to minor in it for your own self gratification. Education is about learning what you enjoy and what you are interested in knowing, not just about grad school and employment. Also as jonnyBravo said- sometimes for MBAs you may want a little math type minor if your major is far detached from the things you will learn and you need to meet preqs, or if you are going to law school, you might want to minor in poli sci to take some law related classes, if you are pre med but your major is non related it might be good to minor in bio or something.</p>
<p>thanks for the info. :) I wasn't aware graduate schools were that interested in minors. I was only asking because I am considering maybe minoring in political science (I'm an english major), but as someone who doesn't qualify for financial aid, I don't want to pay tons of money to take all these additional courses unless it could really benefit my career in the future. I'll definitely look into it though.</p>
<p>It is not that grad schools are interested in seeing a minor- it is more like you minor in something to be prepared for grad school. Basically if you took the courses anyways, you might as well petition to have the minor listed on your diploma.</p>
<p>Also, you will have plenty of ability to minor- you need 180 quarter units to graduate, and with an English major you will not reach that many units with just major requirements and lower division ge.</p>
