<p>I am planning on double majoring in Philosophy and I Dont Know What. I want to to UCB.</p>
<p>Is anybody else planning on double majoring?
If so, what combo and what school?</p>
<p>I am sure this thread is elsewhere...sorry if it is :)</p>
<p>EDIT: Dumb question: Ok so hypothetically I get into Berkeley as a Philosophy major, does anybody know the steps of applying for a second major (i.e. what needs to be done generally)? I am aiming for a major in L&S or Social Science.</p>
<p>Thankz</p>
<p>I'm actually thinking of minoring (possibly double majoring) in philosophy, with a focus on logic, at UCB as well; my current major is Political Science, and what I am looking for is a minor/double major to help with LSAT/law school.</p>
<p>From what I understand, if you are interested in double majoring first you should inquire for the forms/guide which will lay out the requirements, etc; and secondly, meet with a faculty advisor who will help spot any flaws in your plan, or shed advice on the route you should take.</p>
<p>If you want to double major and that major is also in L&S you talk to a counselor first, then to the department I believe. But you are required to finish before you hit a certain amount of units or something, im not sure on the details. Be sure to check out what classes you need to complete each major to see if its possible for you to finish on time</p>
<p>For UCB, and I'm sure for a lot of other schools, you must complete the requirements for the double major within a period of time. I think you get an extra year... I'm not sure.</p>
<p>I wish to double major in philosophy and peace and conflict studies (if I attend UCB). My parents, along with every other college graduate/professional I know, are discouraging me from this. if I go to UCLA, no double major/minor. But if I go to UCB... at least a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies. It's something that I've been doing my whole life, I have to finally get a degree of some sort in it, lol.</p>
<p>@Laguna,</p>
<p>As I said, if I'm not able to complete both within a reasonable amount of time I'll minor in phil; but, PoliSci is a notoriously low-maintenance major, so it should be feasible in 2 years. The only real conflict I can see is the time required for internships competing with the additional work from the minor/major in phil.</p>
<p>For Berkeley, your unit cap increases to 136 instead of 130. Since this isn't a whole lot you really have to plan carefully. I would suggest finishing as many prereqs as possible at your community college. Otherwise, you will have an intense load every semester trying to finish everything in time. </p>
<p>Transfers are at a serious disadvantage in regards to double majoring.</p>
<p>Luckily, the prereqs for phil at UCB are minimal at 4 classes (3 if you receive an A, A+ in Phil 25A/25B and petition to skip Phil 100 - Philosophic Methods). Also, from what I have seen phil prereqs rarely, if ever, articulate from CCC to UCB, so most, if not all, phil transfers are in this boat.</p>
<p>And for a PoliSci major, there are only 7 upper-division courses required and 1 under division, only offered at UCB, for a total of 8 courses; in addition, no specialization is required for UCB polisci majors allowing for a more flexible schedule.</p>

<p>Music Major, planning on double-majoring in German. Hopefully @ Berkeley. Unfortuantely, I don't have any prereqs for German done as of now...</p>
<p>I'm planning on double majoring in English and Film & Media Studies, though I'm still up in the air as to what school I want to attend. I'm contemplating between UCSB and UCI.</p>
<p>I may double major with Rhetoric at UCB (if accepted). My understanding is that UCB is the only UC with a Rhetoric department and I might as well take advantage of it.</p>
