<p>I know out of all the majors I want to do, I defintely want to do computer science.. But I don't know what I want to double major it with... Here were my thoughts</p>
<p>Computer Science + Computer Systems Engineering:
I am attending RPI in the fall, and their computer systems engineering department is more EE than CS. So I think it would be worthwhile; however, many people told me that the CS +CompE double major is redundant.</p>
<p>Computer Science + Electrical Engineering
I am not a hardware person tbh, I want to do software, but I heard this is a strong double major</p>
<p>Computer Science+ Math
I FRICKEN LOVE MATH. I was actually thinking of doing this. But then I got interested in some of the classes in Computer Engineering</p>
<p>Computer Science + Econ
I plan on doing well and transferring to hopefully CMU. If I do get in, I would do econ as well since CMU has a good econ department. But I am not sure what to really do..</p>
<p>This my first Semester Schedule (16 credits)
Calc II
Physics I (Mechanics)
CS Data Structures
General Psych ( I wanted econ, but the registration opens up in august 25th, so hopefully I'll get that)</p>
<p>I want your input please....What seems to be the best double major? (Don't say just do CS, I want to double major with CS and something else not only to look more competitive for a job but also because I am interested in the other areas as well)</p>
<p>If your primary interest is software, computer science and math is a good combination. Several specialties of computer science are very math-heavy. (For example, anything to do with algorithms, graphics, sound, modeling or machine learning.)</p>
<p>That being said, I think it’s too early for you to decide on a double major. Keep taking math, start taking econ, throw in a computer engineering class, and see which classes you like best. Give yourself the opportunity to explore a bit and then make an informed decision!</p>
<p>I was initially going to double major in math and econ. I was fascinated by my first econ class in high school but got super frustrated with econ in college. Half of the classes seemed redundant: introductory, intermediate and advanced micro/macro econ all covered the same material with incrementally more math, for example. Why did they not just teach it properly the first time? </p>
<p>Then I considered a double major in math + CS, but I really disliked the teaching philosophy of the CS department. (“Let’s make our classes so easy that anyone can major in CS without getting stressed out.”) </p>
<p>In the end I only finished a CS minor and used the remaining electives to take interesting classes in other fields: geology, sociology, introductory piano - best decision I’ve ever made!</p>
