<p>How feasible is it? I'm hoping that both are math intensive, since that's the most likely overlapping area and I'm pretty good in math. What would the workload be like? I've taken two years of A Level economics and have a pretty good computing background, so I'm hoping to at least be able to cruise through the first few courses of each.</p>
<p>I also understand that double-majoring eats in the number of electives you can take, but how likely is it that I can also take some Japanese at the side?</p>
<p>The econ and computer science major have no classes that overlap. The CS major requires 14 courses for a BA, 17 for a BS. The Econ major requires 13 courses. So that’s at least 27 courses.</p>
<p>That’s probably in the sense of all the requirements of the core. The core makes it a bit difficult to do a double major. At schools without a core or distribution requirements, a double major would be much easier to accomplish.</p>
<p>You should see what fits for you once you get to campus and start taking classes. You will take three or four classes your first quarter first year, one of which will undoubtedly be humanities core. If you wanted to do 1) humanities, 2)the appropriate level math that is TBD by placement tests, 3) intro cs or whatever you place into, and 4) Japanese, you’d have a busy introduction to the University of Chicago, but a good one nonetheless.</p>
