Requirements/Majors/Concentrations that overlap

<p>I just noticed how very easy it is to double concentrate in computer science as well as Information Systems in CSOM. Does anyone have any comments on this? I also noticed that that is also true for other concentrations. Anyone feel free to drop comments about other courses or majors that they wish to share.</p>

<p>Note, you cannot double count classes for separate majors. (Concentrations maybe different)</p>

<p>Perspective on Western Culture I and II. You’re two theology classes and two philosiphy classes cut to just two classes instead of four. Boom Shackalaka!! It would be foolish not to do this IMHO. I think they should cut down on the university core.</p>

<p>PULSE is another double course program (for Theology and Philosophy). And it gives you something to put on your resume: win-win.</p>

<p>Dear prepurm1216 : Achieving a dual degree in Computer Science and Information Systems is akin to earning the same degree twice. Not only will you find yourself extremely bored in going through the parallel curriculums, but you will be handcuffing yourself from exploring other areas on offer at Boston College.</p>

<p>If you are focused on a double major, I would suggest something in Computer Science along with a potential area into which that learning could be launched. For example, a hard science (Chemistry or Biology) where computer research in DNA modeling or Compound analysis requires both disciplines. You might also consider Computer Science and Mathematics which could easily be a stepping stone towards operations research or financial engineering.</p>

<p>Finally, you could explore a combination of both Computer Science and a liberal arts area of your passion. Consider your Computer Science degree as an enabling technology which is then applied to a business discipline.</p>
