Enrolled Students: What major/minor will you pursue?

<p>I'll probably double in ECE and CS.</p>

<p>opspeed, from Duke's</a> Physics dept

<p>I'm a rising soph, but I'm an English major, planning a certificate in Policy Journalism/Media Studies, and maybe either a minor (or second major) in Poli Sci (I'm one course away from a minor), or scrapping that and picking up a second major in Public Policy Studies.</p>

<p>Double major in History/Sociology and a certificate in Markets and Management Studies.</p>

<p>Am I overdoing it? Haha.</p>

<p>Is there a limit to how many minors you can have? I think I'm going to double in Bio and music, but I might take enough spanish to minor in it. Whether or not I could minor in spanish doesn't really matter to me... I'm just curious.</p>

<p>Poliscience is 10 required courses, and Econ is 14 requires courses, public policy is 12 I think, and you have at minimum 32 courses </p>

<p>Its pretty easy to double major, or major/double minor then, isn't it?></p>

<p>The thing about double majoring or major/double minor is that if the subject material relates the classes could overlap and satisfy the double majors or major/minor.</p>

<p>PPS is 11, I'm pretty sure.</p>

<p>There is a limit for how many minors you can have, though. Last time I heard, you can do things in groups of 3. (A major & 2 minors, a major minor and certificate, major + 2 certificates, 2 majors + certificate, 2 majors + minor, 3 majors).</p>

<p>A certificate is generally more courses than a minor as it is interdisciplinary, you need to take capstone courses, and there are usually progression requirements. </p>

<p>As for the required numbers of courses in each department... bear in mind that it's not ten random courses (or 11 or 12 or 14) but courses in various disciplines within the major. PPS and Econ are popular double majors as to major in PPS (there is no minor available) you need two semesters of econ and one of stat. Irregardless, the way Duke sets up the requirements does make it fairly easy to pick up a second major or additional minors or something.</p>

<p>For poliscience, there's one in each of four concentration areas, then you take 4 more in a certain concentration area, one more in another, and one more honors seiminar or something.</p>

<p>Economics has a similar thing going for it - two quantiative classes for a BS, four core economics classes, four economics electives, two math courses, plus econometrics. </p>

<p>yeah i like the way duke sets up the majors; three majors? thats...a lot.</p>

<p>then I want to do</p>

<p>Major in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy
Major in Political Science
Minor in Internatrional comparative studies</p>

<p>i don't think you can count a course towards two different majors or a minor, can you?</p>

<p>hm...I'm undecided right now.</p>

<p>major in music composition, and a social science major... something like poly science</p>

<p>Double majors in biology (ecology/evolution concentration) and anthropology/English :)</p>
