<p>How easy is it to double major at Pitt? I was thinking political science and economics. Anyone have any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>I don't know specifically about those two majors, but they seem to go well together. My daughter wanted to double-major in two fields that are quite different. One major is 54 credits (a language), the other 36 credits. So if you add them up, and then figure that you need maybe 24 credits of gen ed (or maybe more), you don't have too much room left over for electives. But if you're okay with that, and if you're motivated, it can be done. Also, you may be able to overlap some requirements or use AP credits to fulfill some of the gen ed courses.</p>
<p>Political science requires 33 credits (<a href="http://www.pitt.edu/%7Epolitics/underoverview.html)and%5B/url%5D">http://www.pitt.edu/~politics/underoverview.html)and</a> a B.S. in strictly economics is 27 credits (Undergraduate</a> Economics Degrees | Department of Economics | University of Pittsburgh). This is DEFINITELY feasible, as it ends up totaling to 60 credits exactly. 120 credits are needed to graduate, so you would still be able to fulfill your general education requirements and take some electives of your choice.</p>
<p>^^^ That definitely sounds doable.</p>
