<p>Can anyone give me more information regarding this Joint Degree program. How rare is it for someone to obtain such degrees in 4 years of college? Is it do-able? Do I have to major in Maths for my B.A. or can I have a B.A. (Econ) and a M.S. (Maths)? Thanks!</p>

<p>"Joint Degree Program</p>

<p>B.A. (B.S.)/M.S. in Mathematics. Qualified College students may receive both a bachelor's and a master's degree in mathematics concurrently at the end of their years in the College. Qualification consists of satisfying all the requirements of each degree in mathematics. With the help of placement tests and honors sequences, able students can be engaged in 30000-level Mathematics as early as their third year and, through an appropriate use of free electives, can complete the master's requirements by the end of their fourth year. Interested students should apply to the departmental counselor as soon as possible and in any event no later than the winter quarter of the third year."</p>

<p>You'll need to major in mathematics for the BA/BS. It's an almost prohibitively challenging courseload, so consider whether you want to try it carefully. Anecdotal evidence suggests that maybe 1 person completes the BA/MS each year.</p>
