I used to be so sure that I wanted to be a marine biologist but now I’m pretty sure I don’t want to do research like that. However, I don’t wanna drop biology completely. I’ve always been really good at languages, so I was also planning on international relations so I could take language classes. Now I’m really interested in forensics and computer science. Would it be too much to double major in criminal justice and computer science and double minor in forensic psychology and biology and just take language classes? I’m completely adrift!
Are you a freshman?
Are you in high school?
Do you want to work in law enforcement? Because that’s what the CJ major is for.
Forensics is a good field for applied biology and chemistry. A strong foundation in both sciences is important.
You can only take 4 or 5 classes per semester. If you want to graduate in 4 years, you need to plan how you’ll distribute these 32 to 40 classes. About 1/3 will be taken up by graduation requirements. 1/3 will be taken up by your major. That leaves about 15 classes that you can use in whatever way you want, EITHER a double major, OR a minor and language classes (although students who take 6 language classes typically end up with a minor).
Yes, that’s too much. You wouldn’t have enough time to take language classes with a double major and a double minor, let alone finish your GEs.
You can take classes in most fields without majoring in it. So you should pick one of those to major in, and maybe one minor, and then just explore the others by taking some classes. You don’t have to major in everything you have a passing interest in - one or two classes is just fine.
