Physics major, but what about...?

College Majors Science Majors

<p>Here's the quick and easy:</p>

<p>Physics - My current major.</p>

<p>Math - Possible minor. Been told it essentially comes with a major in physics.</p>

<p>Astronomy - Unknown. I like astrophysics and figured this was a necessary class.</p>

<p>Music - I wanted to minor in it, but I was told that even music as a minor is intense (not to mention I'm already a physics major).</p>

<p>Teaching (physics) - Doubtful I'll do anything with this. My high school physics teacher recommended this as a backup.</p>

<p>What path do you think I should take? I'm content with a physics major and math minor if it's a package deal, but I don't know if I should add another major/minor or not.</p>

<p>Son also wanted to minor in Music, in addition to his Geophysics major, but found it unworkable schedule wise for the first 3 years- all the music classes seemed to always conflict with afternoon labs required by his science classes. Best to apply to a college where you can still take music lessons or music classes without having to be a declared major or minor in Music, and where there will be other kids with serious musical interests[ like USC, where he just graduated]. And don’t worry at this point about what your final choice of major is, as long as the colleges you apply to have depth in all the areas you are interested in.</p>
