<p>I wanted to know which majors in Colgate are the most reputed among Physics, Computer Science , Maths and other science majors ?</p>
<p>How many people double major, especially with science majors in Colgate? Will it be too strenous to do double major besides a campus job?</p>
<p>Waiting for your perspective..</p>
<p>Also .. can someone go for grad engineering after Colgate?</p>
<p>Chemistry, Physics, Geology are probably the three strongest science majors at Colgate and probably have the highest % go onto to get a PhD. It is possible to go on for engineering in grad school, but probably is more common to do 3-2 programs with structured programs that are coordinated with schools with engineering like RPI, Dartmouth, Columbia.</p>
<p>Colgate will not extend its aid to partner engineering institutions if you have received any. You can go for Masters after you get a degree in Physics.</p>
<p>Anyone know about double majors?</p>
<p>I have no idea how financial aid works with the 3-2 program, but would think it would be possible to qualify for aid through the partner schools too.</p>
<p>What about double majors?</p>
<p>To receive aid from partner schools is difficult but not impossible. So its a risk that you will have to take. Good Luck!</p>
<p>PS: Are you in India by any chance?</p>
<p>Nope but I am from subcontinent I am from BD</p>
<p>What I wanted to know is whether doing a double major besides a campus job would be too strenous? Are there people who do so?</p>
<p>lots of people do. campus jobs are usually 10 or so hours per week, and even if you double major, you still take the same number of classes as everyone else. you'll usually have 4 classes each semester, so it doesn't really matter too much what they are unless they're both lab sciences (like chem and bio), though if you schedule things right it shouldn't be too bad. the lab thing is true of any school though.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies.</p>
<p>Is work-study and campus job same or different?</p>
<p>You cannot work if its not specified on your financial aid award. I maybe wrong though.</p>
<p>As an international student, you cannot work for more than 10 hours in your work study/campus job (which are the same thing anyway). Visa regulations, I think.</p>
<p>It is possible to double-major... quite a few people do that, usually complimentary concentrations.</p>
<p>it's not true you can't work if you're not on financial aid - anyone can get an on-campus job, though those on financial aid get priority at getting the jobs they want.</p>
<p>double majors may be a bit easier if they're complimentary, but i know lots of people with bio/japanese or computer science/japanese or english/political science or sociology/psychology, none of which have any overlap classes. they limit the number of overlapping classes anyway if you're double majoring or majoring and minoring.</p>
<p>The max you can work is 20 hrs a week. Just got it clarified.</p>
<p>And 40 hrs during summer</p>
