<p>How easy is it to double major at Hopkins? The majors I'm interested, IR, Poli Sci, and Economics, are all pretty related, so I'm guessing they would overlap to some degree. Also, does anyone know anything about the business and entrepreneurship minor there?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>It's pretty easy to double major because there aren't a lot of distribution requirements. You can't double in IR AND poli sci but you can do IR and econ or poli sci and econ (both are fairly easy due to overlap etc)</p>
<p>the business minor i hear is excellent. Fairly small, great professors, great options. There's one class now that, as a class, has a client and a budget and must find a way to advertise and promote stuff.</p>
<p>Thanks MasterMargarita--</p>
<p>Also, you mentioned the overlap of areas poli sci and economics--does JHU allow you to share the credits used to fulfill the requirements for one major with a second major, or would you have to use different classes to fulfill the requirements for each major?</p>
<p>Yes, they do.</p>
<p>I'm currently double majoring in psychology and public health, and I usually just meet with my departmental advisors before registering for a "cross-listed" course to discuss the potential of receiving and sharing academic credit for both majors. My advisors are extremely flexible and I haven't had a problem yet receiving dual credit, therefore, I don't think it's going to be an issue with your majors of poli science and economics.</p>
<p>In the interim, I would suggest downloading and reviewing a copy of the applicable "Major Checklists" online at the Registrar's site, as well as scheduling a meeting with a major advisor upon your arrival to campus to confirm this information. :)</p>
<p>Here are the checklists Tanya mentioned: Degree</a> Audit Checklists
For engineering programs, check the individual department pages.</p>
<p>And yes, it's definitely possible to double major. I'm probably going to be a BME and Economics double major, which works really well since all the requirements for one major count as distribution requirements for the other and vice-versa</p>
