Interested in both Comp Sci and Behavioral Econ, what should I major in?

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

<p>I am very interested in both behavioral economics and computer science fields for my career. However I have no idea what to major in. If i wanted to get into a career in behavioral economics, would it be advisable to double major in Econ along with Computer Science? Or would it be better to double major econ/psychology or major econ and minor in either psych or computer science? </p>

<p>Basically I prefer behavioral econ over computer science, but would like to have it as a backup because I am also very interested in computer science and more lucrative. Should i take:
Double Major Econ and Comp Sci
Double Major Econ and Psych
Major Econ Minor Comp Sci
Major Econ Minor Psych</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>If you want to go into economics research (including behavioral economics), you may want to prepare for PhD study in economics. This generally means taking substantial amounts of math and statistics, as well as some economics courses. You could still take a CS major or course work in addition (though it would be easier at a school where a non-engineering-based CS major is offered).</p>
