<p>Hi, I am trying to double major in communications studies and political science. this site Double</a> Major says that "No more than 5 upper division courses may be common to both majors." Later, it says "Review your DPR with you to make sure that you will not overlap by more than 5 classes between the two majors." Does this 5 class overlap cap only apply to upper divisions or to upper and lower divs?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>

<p>“No more than 5 upper division courses may be common to both majors.”</p>
<p>Seems like upper division to me.</p>
<p>yeah, upper div only. My two majors have 9 lower div classes in common. Hooray math/physics!</p>
<p>^That’s something I was curious about too because I had to take a lot of bs classes at SBCC lower div and I have enough units for between 2 and 4 AAs (or I will, rather, by the time the year is over)</p>
<p>Upperdiv for sure.</p>
<p>@dinoian How are you managing classes for both majors so far? I’m interested in EE/math but then I don’t want to die in the process… hahaha.</p>
<p>I’m just taking it 4 classes at a time, balancing math and physics every quarter (except last quarter which was my worst quarter when I took only 3 classes, all physics). There’s a lot of overlap in mathematical concepts between the two majors, so it’s not really that bad, it’s more of the memorizing formulas (formulae?) for physics that causes difficulty.</p>
<p>random question, but does it seem like double majoring in psychobiology and biology would be a bad idea?</p>
<p>Seems a little redundant, so I wouldn’t suggest to do it if it will force you to stay extra time at UCLA, but if you could complete both in 4 years without the 5 class+ upper div overlap, might as well go for it!</p>
