<p>How hard is it to double major? about how many credits is that second major? For example I'd like to major in Environmental Science and Biology. Would it be possible to graduate in four years and still only take 32 credits each year (128 total)? Has anyone double majored?</p>
<p>EVERY freshman says they want to double major. </p>
<p>Very few actually follow through with it. </p>
<p>Why? Because unless the majors share some of the requirements, or the student comes in with lots of AP credits, it is difficult to double major AND graduate in four years, without doing summer classes.</p>
<p>For example, some things are VERY easy to double major in. Math/econ. Math/CS. Econ/CS. Politics and Econ. Many liberal arts majors are easy to double up on. I’m sure there are other majors, but these are the ones I’m pulling out of my hat right this moment. </p>
<p>Double majoring means fulfilling another set of major requirements, and depending on the subject, that could be a little or a lot. It also depends on whether the majors share any kind of pre-reqs. Creative Writing and Biology would be difficult just because each major has a specific sequence of classes. </p>
<p>Minors are a great way to add “flavor” to a college education without the stress of a double major.</p>
<p>I 100% agree with everything Missamericanpie said. I’m double majoring in Chem/Neuro in CAS and it’s hard, even though there’s a lot of overlap. </p>
<p>The Biology major has 14 required courses ([Check</a> 'em out](<a href=“Department of Biology”>Department of Biology)) The Environmental Studies program has 2 tracks: Values and Society and Environmental Science. According to this: [Environmental</a> Science](<a href=“Department of Environmental Studies”>Department of Environmental Studies) you would have to do 7 core classes in Environmental Science and your Bio major covers the rest.</p>
<p>So Bio/Environmental Sci fit well together overall; 21 courses total. But throw in MAP, and you’ll have very few electives.</p>
