<p>Just curious, given the core program demands, and a desire to be deeply knowledgeable in Econ and Math as a support for an analytics-focused career - utilizing comp sci as a support. Goal may be to go directly to a graduate program (maybe even at UChicago - one of the best econ programs in the world) - or study internationally post undergrad.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>One thing you can do to make it easier (sort of ) is to take advantage of the “Math With Specialization In Economics” option, which is what they recommend for people who want to get a PhD in Economics. It’s basically the Chicago version of a BS in applied math (although there is a separate applied math degree) where most of your applications are economics. It’s not quite a double major (and eats up less of your schedule than a double major would), but it’s just as good or better in terms of resume impact, and it is where the serious econ students can be found. A computer science minor is probably do-able, but you could probably know what you want to know with fewer than 7 courses. </p>
<p>Going the whole minor route will mean that you barely have any room for electives in your schedule, which is not the way to do college. Trying to do a double major plus minor might be impossible unless you place out of some of the Core requirements (like language, and biological science), and even if it is possible that doesn’t make it a good idea. It’s a lot more stress than you need for any legitimate purpose. Trust me, you will get plenty of challenge from the Math/Specialization program; you don’t need more notches in your belt to prove how tough you are.</p>
