<p>What exactly are the different areas to choose from for a double major? I know the two majors aren't allowed to be in the same area. Would double majoring in 5 (Chem) and 7 (Bio), or 7 (or 5) and 18 (Math) be allowed? Courses 5, 7, and 18 all fall under the "School of Science"--is that what is meant by the different areas?</p>

That just means you can’t “double” in two different types of the same major – for example, you can’t “double-major” in 6-1 (electrical engineering) and 6-3 (computer science), because those are administered by the same department. Similarly, you can’t get a second degree in one of the fields of a composite major, for example, 18C (math with computer science) and computer science.</p>
<p>There’s no problem doubling in any of the combinations you’ve listed, because those are different degrees.</p>
<p>Great, thanks Mollie! That helps a lot.</p>
