Triple Or Quad Major

<p>I was looking at triple or quad majoring if possible. Odds are I wont actually do it for numerous reasons, I'll likely double major but I've just had a hard time deciding on a major and I also want more possibilities. I was still looking at majors in Psychology, Business, English and Criminal Justice.</p>

<p>The question is if it is possible to triple or quad major and still graduate in 4-5 years while holding down a part time job? Assuming I take summer classes and completely dedicate myself to school I suppose.</p>

<p>You should hectagon major Business, Civil Engineering, Music, Biology, Political Science, IT, and Sports Management.</p>

<p>That’s what I did, and I currently work as Engineering Business Sepcialist at a Political Sports Marketing Firm supervising Musicians and IT staff.</p>

<p>Worked out pretty solid.</p>

<p>lol, are you serious?</p>

<p>Srs biznezz…</p>

<p>so ****ing pointless…</p>

<p>You can’t quad major if you want to get out in 4-5 years. Triple majoring is probably the maximum.</p>

<p>Anything beyond a double major looks like d!ck weighing.</p>

<p>… But maybe I’m just saying that because I was a double…</p>

<p>It would really depend on coursework needed for each degree, flexibility of part-time work, and your willingness to do it.</p>

<p>Double majors are fairly common, triple majors rare, and anything more than that is exceedingly rare. The most I’ve ever heard of (read an article online years ago) was five majors. The person did it, IIRC, in four years in liberal arts fields at a state flagship, but they came in with two years worth of AP credits.</p>

<p>So I suppose you could do this if you really, really want to, but I think the time involved might be better spent in career-related pursuits.</p>

<p>What’s the point? It won’t give you any advantage on the job market or in applying to grad school, and it will restrict your choice of classes. You may well end up with a less well-rounded education than if you’d been less “ambitious.” You’d be better off picking one, maybe two majors and taking classes in other subjects you’re interested in, based on their subject matter and the reputation of the instructors.</p>

<p>You actually can quad major and graduate in 4 years as long as you have enough AP credits to satisfy tons of requirements. In addition, you have to pick majors where one course is count for a requiremnt of another major… That being said, you must go to a crappy school then since many schools don’t accept AP credit.</p>

<p>I know somone personally who quad majored in physics, economics, mathemetics, and chemistry.</p>

<p>But there is really no point to doing this. Graduate school is what really matters nowadays and you won’t be able to make a living off of qaud majoring… Just enjoy college and take a couple of courses in each subject matter and major in one or two things.</p>

<p>I think it would show employers that you are indecisive and spread yourself to thin.</p>

<p>And wierd.</p>

<p>^ lol @ “And weird…”</p>
