<p>Hi guys</p>
<p>How difficult would it be to major in EECS AND Economics at the same time?</p>
<p>I'm an entering freshman in EECS, and plan on taking a simultaneous degree in Econ after my first year.</p>
<p>Also, what would be a feasible course schedule for an ideal application for joining Econ?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Bump please!</p>
<p>Why not just take the most interesting economics courses and not worry about completing all of the major requirements?</p>
<p>If you do want to consider both majors, count up the courses and units for both majors and both breadth requirement lists, add them together, subtract overlapping ones (some math courses), subtract AP or other credit on entry, and see whether the total is doable within the number of semesters you will be in school.</p>
<p>A rough estimate is that you will need about 77 units for EECS, about 40 units of non-overlapping courses for economics, about 8 for R&C, about 12 for L&S breadth not covered by the majors (engineering breadth is all covered by R&C and economics). That is 137 units total, which is likely to require an extra semester unless you overload. AP credit may be able to save about 16 total units of R&C, economics, physics, and math, so that may bring it down to eight semesters if you schedule very carefully.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
<p>I guess I won’t be able to double major seeing as I don’t have any APs.</p>
<p>Anywaythere are some Humanities requirements to be fulfilled anyways. I guess Econ can cover those. Am I right?</p>

<p>Economics courses count.</p>
<p>(Not sure if they intended it this way, but after they changed the H/SS requirement to reference the L&S lists, it is now possible to fulfill the non-R&C parts of the H/SS requirement with four math courses.)</p>
