Double Majoring

<p>I am currently a senior and deciding what I will major in. I am really interested in Psychology and Neuroscience and I was hoping to double major in these two. I was wondering how difficult this would be at Pitt since the majors are closely related. Will I die and be overwhelmed/ have no life? I want to have a social life but I am willing to put the extra work forth to double major and still have a social life. Will this be possible? Any input would be nice. Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I’m a double major in two basically unrelated departments (economics and French) and will complete them in four years with a minor, and getting to take fluff classes senior year (I’m a junior). What helped me a lot was coming in with a lot of AP credits (took care of at least half my gen-eds). But with careful planning it shouldn’t be too hard to make work…advisors are helpful in determining whether it’s possible, so be sure to take advantage of them once you’re at school!</p>

<p>My S is a double major in neuroscience and linguistics and while he studies hard, seems to have time for a social life. Since both majors are in the A&S school, that helps too.</p>

<p>My senior daughter says that in college there are three goals: good grades, good social life, good sleep. Choose two.</p>

<p>She also had some AP credits (20 something), took summer classes, and will graduate in four years with about 150 credits. She started out dual majoring and got fed up with the Japanese requirements and the constant scheduling conflicts. She will have a major in applied math, minors in physics and Japanese, and a certificate in East Asian studies, which would me a Japanese major if she were down the street at CMU.</p>

<p>I’m planning to double major in Neuroscience & Biological Science. I think i’ll have to really arrange my classes well & probably cut down on the time spent on leisure & social. I will keep you posted. Haha!</p>
