Major/Minor

<p>do most people at berkeley just have 1 major and nothing else, or do most also have a minor? how often do people double major? statistics arent necessary, just asking for general info on whats common. after all, i hear that classes are extremely intense at cal so i can't imagine many double major there.</p>

<p>I wouldn't say most, but I would say many have a minor, and many have a second major. A smaller group has two majors and a minor, and a very small group has three majors. I think you could find the stats on Berkeley's website regarding who does what, but it might not be available.</p>

<p>minors are more work for little benefit. dont get them unless you seriously want to devote a lot time to a specific subject or you're thinking about a very specific grad program.</p>

<p>There are quite a few double majors here, more than major and minor combinations I would say (I know many more double majors than majors+minors, anyway).</p>

<p>My one data point: S1 is currently planning on a double major with a minor</p>

<p>Some people have a major and two minors. :)</p>
