Double majoring questions

<p>First off, is it possible to double major and double minor? From the site I haven't seen anything that says you can, but I also haven't seen anything that says you can't</p>

<p>Second, how hard is it to double major and minor? How hard is it to do so when one of your majors would be journalism?</p>

<p>no you cant. you can double major and minor, or major and double minor</p>

<p>It’s not hard to double major if your two majors are “easy.” Pairing something with Journalism would probably be fine.</p>

<p>What is considered “easy”?</p>

<p>Well, journalism has an easy reputation… Same with psychology, political science, sociology, exercise & sport science… You get the idea.</p>

<p>I don’t totally agree with you jambaby on psychology being easy or exercise & sport science being easy…psychology classes are not really that easy and the science classes and labs you have to take with exercise & sport science are not necessary easy either. I don’t think they come close to being the same as journalism.</p>

<p>Psychology classes are easy. The psych classes I’ve taken are the only classes at UNC where multiple people get 100s on tests, etc. They remind me of high school classes. Everyone knows to take psych if you want a GPA boost. I’m sure there are specific psych classes that are harder b/c I’ve had friends complain about certain ones, but you can in no way compare them to chem or bio classes. And I have a good friend doing exercise & sport science and the labs, and she was mad during finals because she had to stay up past 11 and she was “only” getting 5 hours of sleep a night. I barely got 5 hours of sleep every night the entire semester. The labs for exss just don’t compare to the labs science majors have to take.</p>

<p>How difficult is a comp sci + business double major?</p>

<p>Computer science alone is pretty tough I think, but I’m sure it’s possible - I have a friend double majoring in comp sci and biochem. Yes, she’s insane, ha ha! I don’t think I know anyone double majoring with business b/c once people get in to the business school they just go on with it…</p>

<p>blue_box: How good are you at math? If you struggle at all with math I wouldn’t recommend it.</p>

<p>Maths is one of my stronger subjects. That’s one of the reasons why I chose comp science. But I’ll be entering with zero credits so I don’t know if it’ll be possible with or without summer school.</p>

<p>So no one doubles with business? Is that because business in difficult?</p>

<p>I don’t think it is because business is that difficult. It might be more so that people who go into the B-school are generally pretty focused on business.</p>

<p>Yeah, people who get in to the business school usually just do business. Difficulty isn’t really a factor.</p>
