possibilities for dual major and minor

<p>I am worried about time management during college. I plan to talk to a college adviser soon to get the specifics but, if possible, the following is what i would like to do:</p>

<p>Major-
1.Engineering Mechanics
2.Mathematics</p>

<p>Minor-
Physics</p>

<p>I checked the course requirements of all of them and 9 out of 14 courses for the math major overlapped with engineering. So i would have to take 5 extra math classes. For the physics minor 7 out of the 10 requirements overlapped so i would have to take 3 extra physics classes. 8 extra courses in math and physics? i didn't think that sounded to difficult but i don't know if my assumption agrees with reality. Is this manageable with out summer school or deserting your social life? I would also be participating in ROTC and possibly the honors program. Any information is greatly appreciated</p>

<p>The school is Carrol College, small liberal arts based school, 70ish% of classes under 20 students, catholic school. If any of that makes any difference</p>

<p>Hmm… I think that means at least a full year extra (including doing some summer classes)</p>

<p>Again, why do you want a double major and a minor???
What do you want to become when you leave college???</p>

<p>I’m not sure what Engineering Mechanics is but if it is anything like a typical engineering degree you will have a tough time graduating in under 5 years if you decide to double major. As a ChemE I can barely think to take a minor let along take on a second major. Do what you like, but just know that this will take a lot of time.</p>

<p>I plan to pursue graduate work in acoustic engineering. The dual major wont necessarily be that great of an advantage to my academic aspirations but more just for personal interest. I know it would be tough, and i may decide against it. I am going to talk to an adviser soon to get the specifics.</p>

<p>I have a lot of personal interests too. But that doesn’t mean I would have the time to complete them. I have seen people doing a double major with a minor and still able to graduate within four years. Physics + Chemistry + Math minor. Doable. I have no idea how he did it but yes he did (with 4.0 GPA, a true genius).
Consider you have ROCT and a personal life as well, you might want to rethink about your decision along the way. You won’t get to take upper-level courses until your late sophomore year, so you do have two years to make up your minds. </p>

<p>Moreover, you will gain new knowledge just by working in the real world.
I love math and physics but I really don’t have the time and energy to complete them along with my computer engineering study anymore. I actually dropped from the double major list. I even had met with the Physics advisor several times.</p>
