[@MrMrannoying]

Would you say that double majoring prevented you from gaining more real experience, time wise? Like, to me it seems like the extra courses for that second major will take up more time, thus you wont be able to take that internship for the first major or some other opportunity. Like you mentioned in the video experience is truly more beneficial so I worry that If i double major then I wont have time at all for experience!

[@HiHi-ss8hy]

Is electrical engineering and computer science related

[@HenryTheTodd]

@@HiHi-ss8hy Those majors together are basically computer engineering. EE is important in the construction and physical side of computers, while cs typically covers the more abstract, theoretical, and programming-related areas. So sure, they're loosely related, but also useful together.

They say that college is the best four years of your life. To others, it's an extension of high school. But eventually it comes at a cost. In college, because I got grants and scholarships and because I was young, I really didn't think much about cost. But what got me out of their immediately was when they started to 'double charge' me in-state tuition. Many universities have policies where they can and will charge you more it if they feel you are taking too many classes. The goal of many universities is not necessarily to learn more or to become a career student. Instead, they want to hand you a degree where it will help get you an entry level position. It looks good on the university when they read their statistics and say x percentage of students graduated in 4 to 6 years and x percentage got jobs just after they graduated. That's how they can continue to get funded through their supporters. If I could go back to college, I would but many times at least with financial aid, there's stipulations that you only get an income based grant if you are going for your first degree and after having more credits than 150% of your program you are cut off. So, then how do you get funding? Go into boat loads of debt? The other option that's proven to be successful is to try to get a good paying job. So when I went through grad school, I went to school part time while having a full time job. So I used some of the money that I earned from my job to help pay for grad school. Surprisingly, because grad school requires fewer credits than undergrad, I found it to be a bit cheaper. But on the flip side there went $30,000 dollars in tuition for taking a total of 55 graduate school credits.

I literally had a list of 10 majors and 15 minors I wanted and kept adding things

[@manasvichegu2683]

Regarding the community college credits, it's always P/F, like AP credit, CLEP or something similar, but if some employer wants to know your grade in certain subjects, P/F doesn't look good. I like to complete gen EDs in P/F format and focus more on my major specific classes.

[@Determination212]

There's two type of double major paths. Double majoring in the same college, or from separate colleges. You go to a university, but where you study your degree is at one of their colleges. The college of letters and sciences, college of arts and communication, college of business and economics. college of education etc. A bachelors degree is about 120 credits. The first two years is general education classes. Where I went to school, the general rules I found if you go for a double major in the same college that's about another 30 credits or 1 year. If you double major in a different college, then that's about another 60 credits or two years. If you minor that's about 15 credits or 1 semester/half a year. But sometimes, if you go to a different college for the other major, you can't double count on some of your classes like you can if you go to the same college. And just because you're getting a double major doesn't mean you are getting two degrees. Then to get the second degree, the difference was having to take an extra 4 or 5 credit science lab course which I found worth it. If you have degree requirement questions that goes above your advisors expertise, go to the office of student registration, the ones that actually process your graduation application/degrees. My double major/double degree program took me 4.5 years. I went to a large enough university that there were always summer courses to take. About my third year in college, I wanted to finish up my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, but I found I enjoyed my public administration classes as I was already minoring in that. I wanted to also get a degree in public administration. But my advisor told me that my business classes wouldn't cross over as I can only count those classes once and I would have had to take some of the same classes over again. So then instead, I went for Political Science. This area made me more well-rounded, but I'm not huge into history or theory so often I struggled in some of those classes. So after 4.5 years, because I went to school year round, I graduated with a BBA in General Management and a BS in Political Science while I minored in Public Administration. I wanted to squeeze another minor in philosophy or have a third major in sociology. I enjoyed learning , and I thought it would have been cool to maybe graduate with 3 bachelors degrees instead of 2. But students have tried to have done this before and it makes the university itself look bad. They calculate statistics like how long does it take most students to graduate and how many credits on average does it take to graduate to help keep prices low and to remain more competitive. In addition, when paying in-state tuition, the state is already subsidizing part of your education. So to combat against this, financial aid will only cover up to 180 credits which is about 6 years worth of schooling. The university system, at least in the state of Wisconsin and a handful of other states went further that if you have over a certain amount of credits (in Wisconsin) they will double your tuition. So for the Wisconsin public university system if you have more than 30 credits required for your degree or 165 credits the semester after, that tuition bill is going to jump. Because, then you are literally paying out of state tuition and it's a way to try to encourage you to graduate. But this policy can harm some students because if you keep switching your major around. What do you do if you don't have enough classes to graduate and now oh now you have to pay double in-state tuition and financial aid is going to drop you from their books? At least in terms of job perspectives, I had enough networks and knew enough people so I was fortunate to have a total of four internships. But even with two degrees, it still took me well over a year after I graduated before I was able to land my first full-time job and I agree they didn't really care. The person that cares most about your college experience is yourself. The degree just helps to open the door. Many jobs require you to have a degree and then when you set foot you find that much of what you learned in school, you don't use on the job. Later on because I enjoyed Public Administration so much, I went for a Master's Degree in it. The two differences in that program compared to my bachelors program were fewer exams and more emphasis on writing on papers which were longer. And where I work, I'm better at writing and analyzing, but my Master's didn't help to get me a promotion. I still don't regret that I got a Master's because I enjoyed going to school. I like learning, but the price tag for that piece of paper is a another story. At the end of the day many jobs require degrees so you can get your foot in the door. But whether they hire you for another position or promotion , more often than not, I find they look more at your experience versus going for more education.

I would agree with planning ahead, I’m a double major in mathematics and biology and if it wasn’t for the credits I had going in I would probably be taking more than 4 years to graduate. Going in I only took 14 credits my semester when I probably should’ve done 18 (since classes get harder later on) and I also had a French minor which was fun, but it ended up being too much. As for when people ask you your major I usually just say “it’s just math and biology” or “biology and mathematics” (depending on who I’m talking to and the setting) and most people seem to just assume it’s a single major with an odd emphasis and if you don’t make a big deal about most people won’t really ask you unless they’re your friend

Upon adding Statistics as a major I had to take two extra modules, not sure why and its Physics 1A and Computer Science. Weird thing is I had enough credits already but modules like Informatics were not included in the count for some reason. So year I didn't like doing 1st year modules together with final year modules, my timetable was a mess and I was broken to the point where I hated school as a whole

If you double major and it's in the same field. So say I'm getting a management major and a marketing major, it's about an extra year. If you double major in a separate field, it will take about an extra two years. But sometimes with majors, I find that they don't allow you to double down on classes. If you are going for two double majors, especially in different fields, ask if it can convert into a second bachelor's degree. The difference for me with a double major and a dual bachelors degree was taking an extra science class. And actually some programs if you select a major, you are required to select a minor in order to reach a total of a 120 credits. But as much as I liked taking classes, I liked going year round. I went for 4.5 years and graduated with two majors/bachelor degrees along with one minor. I would have went for a third major, but the university tried to charge me 'double in-state tuition' for having 'too many credits'. BriTheMathGuy, you also make a good point. Many employers prefer employees to have work experience. A degree helps to open the door, but once you're in the organization, it makes more sense to build up your experience. When I got duel degrees in business and political science, it helped me towards my Master's program in Public Administration as I was then more well rounded. But to get to where I am now, all I needed was a bachelor's degree. While I have no regrets getting my Master's, there comes a time where further education becomes more self-enrichment versus being there to help your career perspectives. A degree helps get you into an entry level position, but after that, I find that promotions are more based on your personal experience and the people you know. If you are studying a major in a similar field, the advantage is you receive more education about certain topic areas and become more well-rounded. But eventually, you might find that classes that tend to overlap start to become more review for you versus learning something new. The other option is if you want to spend another year or two in school, one might be better instead to invest that time towards getting a Master's as opposed to getting another major. I've seen pros and cons being a life long student. I find that some people go for a Bachelor's degree, but then get the work experience and then go back for a Master's or some prefer to go for a Bachelor's and then get the Master's. It all depends on how competitive the job market and where you live. For instance, my friend that lives in Washington D.C., it was advantageous for him to have a Master's degree as he received a mid-level position right away, it's more competitive out there. But where I live in Milwaukee, even with a Master's degree, some are still starting out at entry level positions that traditionally only require a Bachelor's degree. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to go for a second Master's degree or better yet a doctorate which would be more self-enrichment for me, but part of me doesn't want to keep spending money as I have other dreams too, such as owning my own home or going on more vacations etc.

I actually was double majoring in math and physics until near the end when I already almost completed my physics major (literally had only 2 classes I had to take left) before switching to a physics minor just because I didn't want to take another lab class. If I started my university years all over again, I'd probably be majoring in math and minoring in physics (but take more classes than actually required for the minor because theoretical physics, like pure mathematics, is very interesting to me. I just am not nearly as interested in experimental physics.) and stat (I had little interest in stats when I took AP Stat in high school, but taking Introduction to Probability Theory and Introduction to Mathematical Statistics classes at university raised my interest in stat more than somewhat, plus the stat minor only requires 1 stat class).

I didn’t take AP classes in HS. I started with a finance major with a CS minor for one year and realized I wanted to major in Math. What are your thoughts about getting a double major in math and finance and finishing in 5 years? Keep in mind that my financial math specialization makes some classes count for both majors and my main goal is to become a quant analyst who works in the finance industry. I have tried talking to my advisor but like you said they don’t really provide any feedback or assistance.

[@BriTheMathGuy]

I think Math and Finance would go well together! (especially if your plan is to become a quant) Personally I don't know how much it matters if it takes you 4 or 5 years to finish in the long run. I would take a look at specifically others in your chosen field majored in. Best of luck!

[@Determination212]

I think getting a duel major helps especially if you aren't sure which part of math you might end up using more or less. I think both can go hand and hand especially if you decide later to go through grad school for a math related program. However, for job perspectives, at least in my experience, I think you really only need one major. But I think it's important to do what makes you happy. But know that taking extra classes, sadly comes at an additional cost. For me, my double major was in General Management and Political Science. It wasn't until later in college where I found that I really liked Public Administration. So later, I went on for a Master's in Public Administration.

Hahahaha I giggle about 6:54 This is so good. Thank you

Personally I was torn between Studio art (due to fear starving artist ) and business financing ,I’ve known many people who did the same thing and successfully achieved it in 4 years or even 3 . However it’s still a scary mind set to double major to me but I am willing to take the risk of something that I love and something that will be useful to me

[@kaliraah]

I do arts self taught , but currently using those skills to learn an art niche in Civil design while specializing In Management AA for transfer . Personally I felt why would I pay to use my own creativity , going to college should be to enhance my skills not stay comfortable . I already shoot music videos , and understand the structure of digital marketing colleges are behind in these topics often at the community college level. It would be better to supplement with online courses made by current professionals, the benefit is you actually learn how to apply what your learning not just the theory of things like it feels in college . Long term no matter what day job I want to invest my money in Real estate Civil Engineering Drafting and Design with AA Management gives me skills to be an entrepreneur or 6 figure career man win win

[@Crusade6539]

I’m a artist as well but the military is my goal so I’m thinking about doing a political science in the military intelligence track with a business admin degree plus a minor in Russian.

point #9 really hit home, noticed that there is literally no reason for me wanting to do a double major

[@kaiyaadams5539]

i need to do a ton of research still but thinking of double majoring in interior architecture and computer science and minor in asl. maybe that’s a terrible idea but i mostly just can’t decide what i want to do with my life and only want to take one go at college

[@Jessiemats]

Thank you

Welcome!

[@kenvincent19]

I kinda want to do graphic information technology (full stack web development) and human systems engineering since some of the classes lines uo

[@PowerPuff-qr7gr]

I just found out today that I am a double major. I am in my last class at Community college. My classes cross listed for Teachers Prep & Inter Disciplinary Studies. I honestly want a minor in Audio & Visual. Life is going good and I’m very excited

[@_letranger]

Thank you for good video bb

[@BriTheMathGuy]

You're welcome. Have a great day!

[@janeshu2575]

I want to take computer science and law I don’t know I can survive it or not because this two major have no common with it each other.

[@moonplantsubliminals9667]

I wanna double major dance an electrical&computer engineering at University of Washington! It’ll be hard but still, I wanna.

[@apatheticpanda182]

Good luck! Im going to try to major in microbiology and biochemistry

[@Jovi0559]

I love your advices. I’m going to double down.

You got this!

Hey, ya never know :)

[@aaronvalone8524]

It is pretty easy majored in criminal justice and sociology and minored in forensic science, and in all reality it is easy when classes merge together for both majors

[@arcatia66]

I was planning on double majoring in forestry and horticulture only to find out my hort department doesn’t do double majors... so now I’m doing double degrees :)))

[@giovannifontanetto9604]

I'm finishing environmental engineering in brasil. I like math, it's one of the few advantages I have over my colleagues. Seeing a friend who uses chatGPT on everything possible and that constantly says he hates math getting a internship at a good company while I could not really demoted me. Seeing that employees really don't care about a double math major is really sad for me, and I've decided to invest my time in extracurricular activities that use math ( working at a water sediment moddeling lab), so I don't have to compete with my colleagues for their sustainability jobs.

[@criscross7362]

I'd like to do Accounting and Finance.

[@joselyneescaleraalvarez5260]

I’m thinking of majoring in Criminal Justice and Acting!

[@mcpexnemesis4953]

I’m looking for Project Manager & Marketing majors. They go very close to each other. I want to start my own business so these two could help me quite a lot because they are with the same exact goal, business. Project Manager could help me managing and leading a team (leadership skills), amd marketing could then help me market my brand and business. As well as interact with everyone else I need to. I just believe go both hand in hand.

[@alex.moses_]

Ohhhh I want to double major in information systems and finance so bad

[@mohamudabdi265]

I’m pursuing business administration but now I decided to double major in criminal justice!!!

Best of luck!

[@betsi9183]

That’s I am thinking I am super interesting in Bioinformatics but I am little big scare and I see that for find job your need a master or PhD but my University have a super nice Medical Laboratory Program that will ensure me into a job right after college, they have many similar classes but the last year for medical laboratory lab is a internship so I do not know what to do

[@rodneyh1947]

I double majored in math and physics, took 5 years, failed one upper division math class. had 6 overlapping classes. It is easier than it looks if you have the passion for the subjects. I am not that smart, I just loved the subjects, it was never boring for me. I think that is the key.

[@begumkaplan6957]

i want to double major in translating and intrepreting and departmant of interior architecture and environmental desing because i am really interested in both and i dont know which one i want to work with. do you think it make sense? ( i want to double major because im really curious about both of them)

[@capricebrooks9934]

I am a Freshman in high school and i want to plan out this because i want to double major in Journalism and in Theatre Arts I want to double major because just in case acting does not work out I have something to fall back on

I wish to major in economics and computer science for a personal reason.

[@BriTheMathGuy]

Best of luck to you and thanks for watching!

[@user-gj9jf2rp3u]

Me too, but i feel like it's gonna be tough since they dont have much commonality between them

[@ricchburglar]

@@user-gj9jf2rp3u yes that is my problem too

[@wojak6793]

Night Time Freddy I wanna do the same but with Finance instead of Econ since Finance and CS both share lots of math which I’m also good at

[@ricchburglar]

@@wojak6793 sounds better good luck.

[@americohagim1131]

My plan is to double major in Divinity and Psychology so I could be a pastor and clinical psychologist. Ik ik i kinda like school so it doesn’t bother me and the cost is part of the process

[@spiralwind7545]

What if i wanted to majoring something else so i could learn more. I mean i like learing things like physics and currently am majoring in computer science and math( unknowingly) but want to cone back and do anither major

[@fridaygodwin1215]

Yeah I was thinking about majoring both as well

[@Chaosdude341]

It's worth seeing after the fact how much that itch has been scratched. If you just care about learning, once you've got that technical background, you can find some physics textbooks and work through them yourself. I know a few STEM folks who have done that. Graduation doesn't mean you have to stop learning.

[@alyssaq4025]

Hi I’m hoping someone here can help me. I’m going into college with all my gen ed completed because I was in an early college program in highschool. Right now I’m set to major in marketing in the fall and graduate in two years but I want to double major with CIS and marketing. Is this a good idea and how do I approach my advisor about this?

[@MagicallyElena]

I am majoringnin elementary education ( don't come for me) but I wanna double major. What should I major in any ideas. I was thinking leadership idk

I want to go to law school and film school, the two are so unrelated but I really want to do both

[@brianadelreal4979]

Is it weird that (as a junior in high school), I’m planning my majors before I have a list of colleges I want to apply to? Also, almost everyone that I’ve seen online, double majored in two similar majors, but I want to major in two very different majors (visual arts and political science). Would you advise that?

[@aaronjun8546]

Well, I haven't done it yet because I just graduated from high school and entering college, but from what I have seen/heard, it is very possible to get a BA in two very different majors and/or find a job related to both at the same time. After all, two BAs mean you can also just find a job in either area lol. However, you have to plan your classes very well because each major has their own prerequisites and requirements which in your case could be very different from each other. In other words, if you don't plan well, you might end up taking unnecessary classes or could've taken one class that actually satisfied something in both majors.

[@aaronjun8546]

Also, it's not weird at all! I think interests in what you want to do are more important than what college you want to apply to (I mean, you go to college to follow your interests). However, unless you have a strong passion for something and know what you want to do, maybe double majoring in two very different areas is not the right path for you. Worst case scenario, you lose interest or you have to do more than 4 years of college. You're still a junior, so you have plenty of time, and your interests more than likely to change as you become a senior and research more.

[@willaandrews7283]

Nope I’m in 8th grade and I’m already planning. I’m wanting to major in some kind of visual art and forensic science

[@addiowl8538]

Ngl I think it would be harder than doing two similar majors. But it's not undoable. You should talk to your advisor (when u get one in college, usually the summer before college)and ask them. They will contact the other advisor for your second desire major. I am going to a private university so there is less student each advisor has to deal with and my university encourages students to do dual/double(a bit different situation than Bri)I am doing computer science &mechanical engineering for reference. However, do suggest you think before you choose college(I also do art but I am not doing it for a degree so I just took the class online/no credit stuff) Cuz there is rarely university that is good at visual art and political science at the same time so you have to choose which one you think is more important to you. This is just my personal opinion so don't take it too seriously.

[@willaandrews7283]

Cancel Culture Doesn't exist yeah technically

[@Lawfair]

On the off chance anyone is still reading the comment section on a 2+ year old video... Per his 1st point I would just point out that I've never heard of a university that increased let alone doubled general education requirements for any reason. I did a dual degree (B.A. and B.S) with a triple major on each degree and while my credit requirements jumped from I believe 128 to 158 or 178 (it's been a long time forgive me for not remembering exactly) my general education requirements were unaffected.

[@corinnyagathe6259]

Could Library Science and English Literature work together?

[@jgja1931]

I'm an engineering student and i really don't like my course but I'm too shy for my parents to not continue my course. So if i will continue my course and after i graduate i will take the course that i love but it is really distinct from each other like a "medical course", will it be possible?
