Hello! I’m an incoming freshman pursuing a major in Math, and I was wondering if there are any other majors I can look into if I want to double major? I’m thinking of doing the CAS Computer Science major, but I’m not sure if there’s much overlap in classes for the two majors. If comp sci and math sounds too unreasonable, what other major can I look into while pursuing a degree in math?
Here’s a link pointing to pros/cons of double majoring in math and computer science.
I don’t know that much about college either because I’m just a student as well, but I would assume that computer science and math double wouldn’t be too hard because it seems like a popular double major.
For a math and computer science double major there is no overlap; there are 10 math courses required and 8 computer science courses required. I wouldn’t recommend doing a double major with computer science as both departments have extremely difficult courses and I think it might be overload. Double majoring in math and economics is pretty common as well and I think it’s more manageable. A joint major with journalism is possible as well.
Here is the link to the requirements for Math/Comp Science and Math/ Econ majors:
