<p>Hi everyone,
My major is computer science (L&S), and I am trying to double major at cal. I am willing to stay one more year at the college to get another degree. I understand that statistic and math are the easiest major to double major. I have completed all the lower division math class and all 3 level of physics classes. Please give me some advice on double majors. Thank you :)</p>
<p>You get one extra semester to double major. You get a two class overlap, so you would have the CS upper divisions, 5 upper division math classes (Analysis, Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, Numerical Analysis and Complex Analysis) + a cluster (here is where you would be able to have the two class overlap).</p>
<p>@CSB111 Are you referring to double major in Math? I already took Linear Algebra. So I would need 3 more math classes to get another degree? </p>
<p>No, you take an upper division Linear Algebra (Math 110) class that is proof based, not the Linear Algebra class you took at CC. You need 8 more math classes, and two of them count towards the CS degree. </p>
<p>@CSB111 Thanks for your info. I would like to know about double major in statistic too, if anybody knows about it. How many additional classes I have to take. </p>
<p>@vanille08 Everything is posted online… find the requirements for the majors you want. Look at the possible classes. See how many of them are common between the two majors, figure out what you’ve got completed, and figure out what you would still need.</p>
<p>Then sit down and try scheduling it out. Not as a definite plan for the next two years, but to see how things will fit. Try to get series of classes in order, don’t take too many technical classes at the same time, stay below 16 units per semester if possible. Remember that summer session is an option as well. But try planning it out, figure out where you stand, how many CS pre-reqs you need to catch up, and if you can make it all fit or not.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you can’t fit a second major, you might be able to minor in something instead? It’s still a lot of classes, but it should be less than adding a full major. I wouldn’t suggest doing a double major or a minor because it’s the easiest pairing though… don’t major in something you’re not passionate in.</p>
