Double major Comm + Computer Science

<p>I am interested in double majoring in Commerce and computer science. I realize that this would mean a major in the Comm school and in the E school, and that each of those schools have a substantial number of required classes. </p>

<p>Fortunately, I have plenty of AP credits that might help make this doable. My AP scores are as follows:</p>

<p>Comparative Government: 5
United States Government: 5
United States History: 5
European History: 5
World History: 5
English Literature: 5
English Language: 5
Statistics: 5
Calculus AB (subscore): 5
Calculus BC: 4</p>

<p>So, based on this information, do you think that this type of double major is plausible?</p>

<p>You can major in Computer Science through the College (CAS). Much better plan</p>

<p>There’s no way it’s possible without AP Computer Science credit (or even if you had it). The required CS courses (in the college - which is how you would major) are CS150, CS201, CS202, CS216. Those classes are taken over 3 semesters and not earlier. So you would not even start more advanced CS classes until your 4th semester at earliest. HOWEVER in Comm you are restricted to just 1 elective class per semester starting your 5th semester, so you would not have enough elective classes to complete a CS major. You might be able to do a minor in CS.</p>

<p>That’s exactly the information I needed. Thanks. </p>

<p>I will look into the CS program in the College.</p>

<p>You could do a CS and econ double major through the College, and you might be able to add some other business-relevant courses as electives, without going the Comm school route.</p>

<p>Comm School doesn’t set an absolute restriction on your elective classes, so you could technically do it, but take it from someone who almost took that route – it’s very difficult.</p>
