Tripple Threat

<p>how hard do you think doing a tripple major is on a scale from 1 being easy to 10 being impossable.</p>

<p>Well if you can't spell the word triple, it will definitely be hard. Too hard for you.</p>

<p>haha , i just realized that, i feel so stupid
sorry</p>

<p>relax laxguy its just an extra P</p>

<p>Depends on how similar the majors are in terms of overlap, what they are, and how interested you are in them.</p>

<p>Why would anyone bother to triple major? Unless you can demonstrate that a second major has provided you with a unique set of skills, going through the required courses to get a double major is hardly worth it.</p>

<p>It would depend on whether courses can be used to meet the requirements for more than one major and how extensive core/distribution requirements are at the college (and whether any of those courses can be applied to a major or not). You would need to set down with the requirements for everything and a course catalog and see how things work out -- you might need more than eight semesters to get through everything (but having credit through AP might help here).</p>

<p>Even if the course load is manageable, there is the added wrinkle of course scheduling. With required or popular courses in three different disciplines, it ups the odds that things might be scheduled at the same time.</p>

<p>I wouldn't attempt it myself unless I just happened to have three things I loved equally or it turned out that, taking what I wanted to take, I just happened to have pretty much what is needed for a major in three things. </p>

<p>A major and a couple minors is far easier! Look at the courses available at the college at which you matriculate. It could be that what you want to take in one or two of the three doesn't get you up to a major. </p>

<p>Don't go by the name of the department and that it sounds interesting, in other words. My daughter recently added a second concentration (she's at Brown; that's what they call majors and there are no minors). She was thinking of Old World Archaeology because that is what she is interested in, her other concentration being Egyptology. But the courses available are for specific sites outside Egypt. The general archaeology courses she is interested in are all in the Anthropology department. All she needed for a second concentration beyond what she would take on her own is one from a list of general anth courses (which she is finding interesting, it turns out) and a senior seminar, so it wasn't much of a burden to add it.</p>

<p>As far as I know, most schools won't let you triple major. They will probably only allow a double major and a minor. I'm sure some schools will let you, but just keep in mind that there is a good reason most schools won't let you, and college is for exploring all kinds of subjects and interests, so just make sure to keep you options open.</p>

<p>I think most people who say the want to 'triple major' are suffering from difficulty in focusing on a topic ...or fear of committment!</p>

<p>A major is not all there is to you --or your college experience.... MAjor in engineering, but attend the music departments concerts and so on ....</p>

<p>While you dont have to do it right away, you will need to start narrrowing your study focus in college, until you get to the point of starting to build your life 'body of work' .....</p>

<p>I do understand, there are so many things interesting to learn about, just dont get hung up ont he major is the only way to learn mentality </p>

<p>all the best</p>

<p>Which school?</p>
