<p>I am about to complete my 2nd year and I am transferring to another university.
Currently I am declared as a math major, but I want to complete double major with economics.... But I am wondering how many credits can I expect to complete before I graduate? </p>
<p>How does this work out? are all electives replaced by economics classes thus leaving me with 120-130 credits as usual, or should I expect over 145+ credits...making seep onto 5th year of college</p>
<p>I have been looking over degree requirements but It isn't clear to me as whether or not I can replace all electives with eco classes for the math degree, and replace all elective classes in eco degree with math classes.</p>
<p>I am going to meet with an advisor when I transfer...but as of now my plan is very uninformed.</p>
<p>any idea?</p>
<p>edit: time-wise, a fifth year would not be so bad as I am a year younger than the avg. junior will be, financially I am on a florida pre-paid thing where they help pay 126 credits, after 126 there is no assistance...of course 130 something is not a biggy, but much over that could be a problem.</p>
<p>as well ...Do employers frown upon 5-year students?</p>
<p>Yeah, it is doable depending on how many math and econ classes you have already taken. It also helps if you can get your math degree with an applied option in econ, which will reduce the number of math classes you’ll need (usually just one class). What you need to do is sit down with your grad requirements and a schedule to plan out the rest of your undergraduate career. If you can’t fit everything then you’ll know, but if you can, then you are all set!</p>
<p>make a list of all the courses that you need (and want) and see if you can fit them all into your schedule for the next couple of years. No one here is going to know the specific requirements you need to graduate because we all go to different schools.</p>
