<p>Hey guys
So is it possible to do these two degrees? (at the same time)...I really love both subjects but I've never heard of this double major combo..</p>
<p>Yes and No.</p>
<p>When I say yes, you can do anything you want in college, as long as the policy ALLOWS you. Consider painting and drawing is more like an art desgin major, I am sure this is not new.</p>
<p>The problem is class registration. There could be time conflict for one or more courses, and at least one of them could be a co-requisite for the other courses. Let say Course A is a co-requisite for Course B and C, and without Course A you cannot take B and C.
However, Course D ends after the first 40 minutes of Course A. So either you take Course D and sacrifice the rest, or you don’t take Course D now.</p>
<p>Sometime it gets even worse when Course ABC for Major 1, and Course DEF for Major 2, without taking Course D you can’t take EF, but Course D is only offered in the Fall. There is no Course D in Spring. You must finish D in order to take E & F. So you are 2 semesters late for Major 2. Then you will not be able to graduate within four years, if time really matters.</p>
<p>So first ask yourself is time a problem, allowing summer class and possible a 5th or 6th semesters? Then look at the two programs, how can you construct them well? Talk to your advisors. I am sure a lot people who did double or even sometime triple can graduate within four years.</p>

<p>My brain…is melting. Haha lol…thanks so much though! I think I’m willing to do summer sessions and whatnot…</p>
<p>If your school is generous with AP credit and you have some, it will be easier. Often unrelated majors require a dual degree because there is little overlap in requirements. My guess would be that the two majors you are investigating will have lots of lab time and that can be a problem.</p>
<p>Sometimes, a minor will give you what you really want, which is more like a concentration so you can explore interests. Start out with the goal of a double/dual major and see how doable it is.</p>
<p>Ok, that might also work, I wouldn’t mind a minor</p>
<p>My school, Carnegie Mellon, has a program called BSA - Bachelor of Science and Art. It’s for people just like you, who would like to pursue degrees in both areas. There may be a few other schools with similar programs. Definitely look into it!</p>
<p>Whoa! Thats exactly what um looking for! Thanks so much! :)</p>
