I am going to Lafayette in the fall, and wasn’t sure if I should double major in CS and Econ, or I should major in CS and minor in Econ. Could someone tell me how hard it is to double major at Lafayette, and what the CS program is like?
Congrats on Lafayette! My D graduated from the school recently and had a great 4 years there. Hope the same will be true for you.
Many people double major or major and minor at Lafayette so it is very do-able (my D earned a BS degree and did a minor). The distribution requirements at the school are pretty flexible which is a great help. When you get to campus you can talk to your advisor about planning out a schedule that will allow you to accomplish this. And keep in mind there is no need to declare a major until the end of soph year and I think my D was able to add on a minor even later so there is no rush to figure it all out.
And my D was not a CS major but she had a good friend (who spent one Thanksgiving vacation with us) who was very happy with the program – I can’t offer any details though.
