<p>Sorry, this is kinda a dumb question but is it possible to major in computer science (through CoE), minor in astronomy, and complete the pre-med track all in 4 years ? I have a lot of interests lols.</p>
<p>i’m sure it’s possible. double minoring. but since astronomy might be not very employable u might leave that out n study it on ur own rather than put extra burden on your course load</p>
<p>You don’t have to minor in astronomy just to take classes for it…</p>
<p>If that’s only an interest and not a possible career choice…I wouldn’t minor in it.</p>
<p>I’m sure you could do something with computer science + medicine though…maybe even add astronomy in there somewhere I guess…be creative?</p>
<p>you might have to do spring/summer, but it’s possible.</p>
<p>Very possible.</p>
<p>Thanks guys. Are there some jobs in the medical field that require heavy CS skills? My primary interest is in CS, but I was also thinking about pre-med.</p>
<p>And yes, Astronomy is just an interest, I heard the job prospect sucks. Isn’t there other benefits in minoring though? For example, if I were to dump the pre-med idea and just major in CS, wouldn’t it be better to minor in Astronomy instead of not minoring at all? Would grad schools like that I took a minor (even though my minor has nothing to do with my major)?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>A friend of mine got rejected from Med School, so with his degree, I think he works for a company which makes machines and stuff for hospitals…</p>
<p>Still trying to get into Med School though. Hes really smart.</p>
<p>I’d say there’s about a 99% chance that an Astronomy minor would be totally useless.</p>
<p>^ Like I said, it’s just a big interest. But won’t grad schools like that I’m pursuing another interest as well? Or would I be much, much better off getting a Math minor or something…</p>
<p>Grad school admissions aren’t like undergrad; they don’t care about your “interests” that don’t have to do with the major you’re applying for.</p>
