Quadruple Major

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pittsburgh

<p>Just wondering if it's possible to graduate in four years and quadruple major (the four majors would be History & Philosophy of Science, Economics, Political Science, Philosophy)</p>

<p>I'd be coming in with the following credits: </p>

<p>6 Poli Sci Credits (from the Comp. Gov and U.S. Gov AP tests)
6 Econ Credits (from the Econ AP tests)
4 Chemistry Credits (from AP test, planning to use for Gen. Ed Reqs)
4 Statistics Credits (through the CHS program at Pitt)</p>

<p>Well, is it possible?</p>

<p>There’s a Politics-Philosophy major where you take classes from the political science, philosophy, and economics departments. HPS can be used as an additional major. </p>

<p>Pitt has a lot of gen-ed requirements. So I think it would be tough to fulfill all of those and then quadruple major.</p>

<p>It may be possible, but you’ll just have to do the work and figure out if the credits will all fit. </p>

<p>I can tell you this:

  • the Chem will count towards 1 of the science gen eds.
  • the Stats will count towards the Quantitative gen ed.
  • the Econ should count towards the social science gen ed.
  • Poly sci might count towards the Philosophy or Foreign Culture, but I really don’t know.</p>
