How difficult is it to double major?

<p>I think it would be beneficial for me to double major. Is that extremely hard to pull off at UF?</p>

<p>Sometimes doing two majors is easy and sometimes it’s hard. It depends on what two majors you want to do. Also , why would you want to do a double major?</p>

<p>For example , double majoring in mathematics and physics is very hard but double majoring in art and history is fairly easy.</p>

<p>Maybe minoring would be a better option. - I love working on/with computers, so it seems like Computer Science would be a fun thing to learn more about. “Why not” I guess. lol - Not sure if I want to do it yet. Just thought I would get some opinions. Thank you!</p>

<p>It also depends on what college the two majors are in. If they are in the same college things just got a lot easier. If they are not, then it will be a lot harder. Each college has its own general requirements. If you had one major in college of liberal arts and science, then you would have lots of gen eds and you would have to take foreign languages too. If you had another in the engineering college, then you would have a billion required engineering courses. Long story short if you do double major make sure to keep it in the same college. double major is hard enough without trying to cram a crap load of classes in a small amount of time.</p>

<p>double majoring in a single college isn’t very hard, especially if you come in with a lot of credits. double majoring in engineering is pretty much unheard of though.</p>

<p>uflg8r–I have another idea for you. Expedite your undergraduate
major (get it done fast) permitting you to move more rapidly to a
graduate degree. In most cases the graduate degree will do more
for you than a second undergraduate major. In some instances UF
will permit taking 5 thousand level masters courses during your senior
year.</p>

<p>the credits are much more expensive for graduate classes though. it should be a consideration, but only when you’re talking about a field with high added value to masters degrees.</p>
