<p>BC CS requires 11-14 courses that do not overlap with physics.</p>
<p>This totals to 38-41 courses. Add two more if you have not already satisfied the foreign language requirement:

<p>If you have AP calculus credit, you may be able to skip 1 (4 on AB or BC) or 2 (5 on BC) math courses required for the physics and CS majors:

<p>Most courses at BC are 3 credits, so you will take about 40 courses to get to the 120 credits needed to graduate (the minimum is 38).</p>
<p>So it does look like, with careful schedule planning, you can double major in physics and CS at BC and complete the bachelor’s degree in 8 semesters.</p>
