<p>To be honest, I do think you are being a little naive, but just because there are some problems doesn’t mean that it’s impossible, necessarily.</p>
<p>Some problems I see are:</p>
<p>Do the credits you received actually fulfill the requirements for each major? I had 68 credits when I entered as a freshman, and most of them I didn’t use. They contributed to the amount of credits I had total, but they didn’t actually fulfill very many of the requirements of courses that I had to take. I had to take all of my upper-division coursework (which had to be distinct to each of the majors in my double major) and a few lower-division prerequisites, in addition to some GEs that I didn’t fulfill the requirements. It’s not as simple as just subtracting credits out.</p>
<p>Would you be able to logistically be able to fit all of the courses into your schedule? If you have to take a certain number of upper division history, economics, and political science courses in a couple of years, that may be difficult to fit in. Is getting courses when you need them a problem? I had friends who had trouble graduating on time, just because the courses they needed to graduate were only offered once a year or other scheduling conflicts. Also, at my school, we had to take a certain amount of upper division classes unique to each major, so even if there is overlaps in the classes that you can take, you may still have to take a certain amount of courses for each major.</p>
<p>Is there an upper limit of units that you’re allowed to have? Many schools have a maximum number of units you can have in your time there, and having three majors might put you over the limit.</p>
<p>Why do you want to triple major? Would you use all of those degrees? Is there some point to it, or are you just doing it for the sake of doing it? It might be much more beneficial to take some of the time you’re spending trying to get three majors, and spend them in internships, doing research, volunteering, getting work experience etc. Triple majoring isn’t going to get you a job, but getting great work experience and developing marketable skills will. It’s okay to be interested in all three fields–you’re allowed to take courses outside of your major, but you don’t have to major in every interest that you have. You may also want to leave some room for taking courses that just interest you, taking a lower courseload because you’re doing an internship or something, not being able to get the courses you want with the professor you want at the time you want, etc. Cramming in a bunch of different courses to get a degree that you’ll never use could take away from many other things that would benefit you more. You could also even graduate early, and save some tuition money =D</p>
<p>And then of course, the most obvious problem is: Does your school even allow it? Many schools don’t allow triple majors, and that’s also something to look into at your particular school.</p>
<p>If logistically you can do it (and your school allows it) and you really want to, sure, go for it. But I would advise against it, unless there’s some career you want to go into where having those three majors would be very beneficial. Your time will likely be better spent getting experience outside of the classroom (or even graduating early!).</p>
