<p>I've heard of people taking a triple major and no minor. I was just wondering if this is possible and if so what flexibility it would offer, as I assume that with such a course load that there will be not much room for other courses. Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Yes it’s possible, and it will obviously decrease the amount of electives you can take and overall flexibility, as you say. Why you’d do it is not clear, though.</p>
<p>A triple major in the College is not very difficult, provided you know exactly which three majors you want to do coming in. You can double count one sector requirement per major for a major requirement (so if you are triple majoring in, say, Philosophy, Spanish and Communications, for example, you can count PHIL002 for Society, a SPAN literature course for Arts and Letters and a COMM course for your Humanities and Social Sciences). You can also double count sector requirements for foundational approaches, so you could theoretically fulfill the 13 course sector and foundational requirement with only eight courses, of which only five need to be unrelated to your major. Granted that is unlikely, but you could very feasibly fulfill the requirements with 10 courses, assuming you can test out of the language requirement prior to matriculation.</p>
<p>You need to have 24 unique courses in order to triple major, so you can have majors that have a lot of crossover.</p>
<p>It is VERY easy to double major; in fact, I am double majoring in Political Science and German, and I only need to take three courses per semester (not three in-major courses… just three courses!) for the next four semesters to graduate on time.</p>
<p>Triple major is possible. Heck there are some crazy people in Vagelos who are like getting a Chemistry masters and then a triple science major…but then again, those people don’t sleep…</p>
<p>i know someone who did materials science engineering, finance, and history</p>
<p>took him 5 years though</p>
