double majoring at ccny physics and computer science

<p>..........................................</p>

<p>is it possible to double/dual major cs-physics at ccny ? do they allow that? is feasible within 4 yrs ?</p>

<p>thanx</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am afraid it would be very diffciult to do it in 4 years. I am a CS major. It is possible, and very doable if you are coming to CCNY with many college credits (you have tackled down your calculus, chemistry, and phyiscs). </p>

<p>Don’t lose hope though. The problem with 4 years is that you will end up taking too many classes and you will probably learn nothing after all. CS is very practical and technology is changing rapidly that you wouldn’t even have time to catch up. There are simply too many tools and techniques and stuff in CS.</p>

<p>In CS program you need to take 3 science classe, two of which needs to be in a sequence course, such as Physics 1 and 2. As a CS major you would have to take MATH 392 and MATH 391. 391 is not required for CS major, and 392 is physics and engineering version of linear algebra. </p>

<p>It will take a lot of work. My advice is don’t make double major decision. I used to want to do Physics and Computer Engineering. Don;t make decision until you are into your sophmore year. If you have interest in both subject, pick the one you have the most interest. If you like CS, but you choose Physics as major, you can still learn CS on your own or take it as a minor. Personally, I don’t recommend minor, but since CS is really useful, it’s still worth the try.</p>
