<p>Hi, I'm most likely going to be attending Rutgers, and am interested in triple majoring in Electrical Engineering, Math, and Computer Science. Due to the overlap these majors can have, and if I were to take summer courses, would it be doable to complete all three degrees in 4 years? Also, if I were to complete this combination with a strong GPA (3.6+), would I have much of a difficult time in finding a job? Please do excuse my lack of knowledge, as I'm not so knowledgeable as to how all of this works. Thanks</p>
<p>It is hard enough to finish an engineering degree in 4 years. A dual major would be even more difficult. And a triple major, fuhgeddaboutit.</p>
<p>Are you an extreme genius? I guess anything is possible but I wouldn’t try a triple major with Engineering and expect to graduate in 4 years. Engineering is a rigorous, extremely challenging major by itself. I have talked to many current student engineers (mostly friends and associates of my sons’) and each one has described a particular challenge they faced, ie, nobody breezed through.</p>
<p>I do know someone who recently graduated as an engineering/economics double major but it took him 5 years. </p>
<p>Regarding finding a job with an engineering degree: if you have a great GPA (>3.5) I expect that you will receive many job offers even without a double or triple major.</p>
<p>I’m not going to say it is impossible to triple major in four years, but unless you like the prospect of taking a credit overload every semester in the neighborhood of 25 credits (borderline insanity), then it won’t happen. Also, no employer is going to say “well this student triple majored, they’re a better candidate than this engineering student who had two internships over their summers and a better GPA.” Having multiple majors only broadens the field of jobs that you could potentially pursue. Why not focus on one or maybe two majors, get a really solid GPA, and get significant research/internship experience instead?</p>
<p>Personally, I will be graduating next year from Rutgers with an engineering degree and double major in math in 4 years. The only reason I was able to do it though is that I came in with around 40 AP credits, leaving me a lot of space during freshman/sophomore year to take a bunch of math classes. </p>
<p>40 AP credits is like an entire year of college.</p>
<p>Rhetorical yer a smarty!</p>
<p>Haha I was just fortunate that my high school offered a lot of AP classes, even for freshmen. The only real credits that actually counted toward engineering were the 8 credits from Calc BC, 8 credits from Physics C, and 3 credits from AP English Lit. The rest were random history and language classes that don’t really do much for engineering at least.</p>
<p>I cringed at the sight of “triple majoring”. I have 3 AP credits and I have to take 4 summer classes if I don’t want to die from majoring in Bio LOLOLOL</p>
<p>It’s possible depending on which major. (How many AP credits will you receive, college credits, overload coursework etc.) English Majors, for example, only need around 30-40 something credits I believe. </p>
<p>He said in his original post: “…and am interested in triple majoring in Electrical Engineering, Math, and Computer Science”. That is why we are giving this advice.</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t read the whole post. I’m not sure about triple majoring… (maybe EE and CS is POSSIBLE), but I think it is very possible to get a minor in both Math and CS.</p>
<p>For EE majors, you can take CS electives, which count towards the EE major and CS minor. Also You can get a Math minor if you complete up to Calculus 5 and a Linear Algebra Course. (I believe that is 2 more additional math courses). </p>
