<p>Right now, I am a high school senior planning on double-majoring in Math and Computer Science at UMD. I know I am probably thinking to far ahead, but how far (degree wise) should I go with these majors? Do I go for a Bachelor's, a Master's through the five year program, or do I go to grad school? If I do go to grad school, should I get a Master's or a Bachelor's from UMD? Also, what is the difference between double degree and double major? </p>
<p>Thanks,
EddieD</p>
<p>I can’t help you specifically with Comp Sci / Math, though I imagine that how far you went would depend largely on what your career goals were.</p>
<p>At UMD, a double degree and double major (based on what my advisors have explained to me) is merely in the number of credits: a double major is 120 credits, whereas a double degree is 150+ credits. (The difference between the two being that you have one degree with both majors listed for a double major, but two physical degrees with a double degree).</p>
