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 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.
things are so competitive now, it's no longer about STEM! it's about PECS (physics, engineering, and computer science) to increase your chances of getting a good entry level job after college (if you're the average person who doesn't have connections).
1) It can be easy to do if done right 2) Cross-listed classes 3) Planning out class schedules years ahead 4) It can be hard to communicate your plan to advisors 5) Summer credit transfer minutiae 6) You're not gonna impress people 7) Employers won't care (at least not a lot) 8) It can be addicting (like Steam achievements) 9) You might want to double down on one thing (ask yourself why, take a step back)
Very sad about it, I really like math, but doing it and gaining only the knowledge from it is, for me, a downfall. All they care about is experience, the right experiences ,and I will end up deciding for the ones with math envolved.@@chrismarklowitz1001
I don’t know if you’re doing it or not already but if you’re passionate I think you will succeed at it, it’s gonna be hard perhaps but I’m sure between all of them there’s similarities. Just like he said; for example between psychology and neuroscience you might find some similarities? And between biology and neuro as well because science perhaps
@@justinlopez5083 depends on the country, in the US is quite common (I’m not from US but some friends are and I’ve known of them majoring/minoring in different things)
I also wanted to do double Masters as I already completed my masters in Food Quality control and I wanted to do double in US but Iam cofused between the groups Microbiology or Biochemistry which one to take.
whats the update. I might be crazier wanting to double major econ/stats and double minor cs and mandarin. I planned it out though so total course credits are 248 units (quarter system)
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 personally wouldn't care what other people think. I'd tell them I have a double major if they get upset they're just jealous. If it's something you put time into and worked hard to do, you should be able to say both.
Your 9th point really hit home. I realized way too late in my physics degree that it’s not what I enjoyed studying and decided to pick up a math major as well. I ended up completing it anyways along with the math major and I’m starting my masters in mathematics this fall. Things usually fall into place but would’ve been a much smoother experience if I just studied math the whole way and maybe did a physics minor instead. Great video!
The credit transfer tidbit was an amazing revelation for me! It made me go and search up my college's policy, and sure enough, they only transfer credits, and not the grades (it doesn't affect your school GPA).
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.
Thank you, I’ve been changing my 4 year plan constantly, adding and doubling courses like you said to the point where it seems ridiculous even to myself. It’s time to double down
I've already made an extensive spreadsheet for my double major in public health science and public policy. I start college in the fall. Hopefully it works out.
I related so hard to the getting addicted. I tried to add like 2 minors to my dual-degree and even tried adding another major, but took a step-back and decided to just do my 2 degrees (and decided to graduate a year early lol)
Update: A little hypocritical, I am now a triple major 💀 Hear me out: I want to go into machine learning. Not sure if I want to do ML research or go into industry, but either way, ML uses a ton of statistics. My math degree only required 1 stats class, I wouldn't have known anything about stats really. I would've probably known *enough* to get by, but wouldn't have really understood it So, now my majors are CS, math, and stats. At least the stats degree is only 6 extra classes (basically a minor) and not like taking another major such as physics (which is the other major I was considering int he original post. It would've been 12 extra classes or something like that)
@@fujimizuki9727 I think those are all great degrees and I believe they will have plenty of overlap! If you are truly passionate about it then it'll work out for you, however, if you are just okay with them and think it is a good idea you might not want to do all of them. Keep in mind that the more you add on to your courseload, the less lee-way you'll have. Your friends in your major are taking an optional class next semester that sounds super fun? You might not have room for that. There is some sacrifice, but if you really enjoy what you are studying I think it is worth it!
@@soulsofwar8985 No worries, I have no attachments like friends! However, I more interested in the method. I’m a senior at a high school, I want a career that is fast, demanding in the coming years, money efficient, with a good salary!
Thank you for sharing this mass of wisdom! Coming from an actual graduate student, it’s so valuable. It was the perfect time to watch this video for me. Greetings from Paraguay!!
I’m graduating next year so I’m doing college applications this year and I think I’m doing to double major in environmental science and music performance which are not similar at all but I’m super determined and really excited for college!
I'm one semester into college, but I found out about a minor that I'm really interested in, but that requires A LOT of courses from another Major. So now I'm really interested in doing a doble major and minor. I'm starting to plan it, I just hope I'm not too late.
I'm going to do a double major computer engineering and software engineering. I've been in love with computers since 10 years old and these two majors are so related. I've been planning from high school and I'm so ready.
really planning to double major in physics and computer science. i love both. physics because i feel like it’s my hearts calling, i love reading about it and unknown mysteries of the universe. physics always peaks my curiosity. i don’t want to throw it aside just because of people not being impressed or that it may be a little more difficult it’s truly a personal thing. but the financial situation with only physics may not be sustainable for a comfortable salary hence computer science. unless you won a nobel or came up with a great notable contribution. i’ll have computer science which im gonna work hard in to get a comfortable salary in software engineering. starting college in about two weeks. still gonna decide and ask myself what i really want to do each day. it may sound like i have it all figured out but i don’t. hopefully my advisor is a great listener ha. my situation is basically what i love/what reality calls for.
Hi! I am interested in how it is going for you I too am thinking of double majoring in both CS and Physics. Physics has always really peaked my interest as well as CS. But I have became so interested in quantum computing I feel like I really want to go into it but i already just started my first semester second year. I feel like it sounds pretty hard and I don't know if I might even make it all that far plus it is a bit later in the year already.
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.
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.
This video is very useful and relatable in a lot of ways... especially the part about seeming like you are showing off.. when someone asks me my major half the time I just say business because saying "management information systems and economics" sounds so long and confusing edit: and I just made it to the part about it being addicting and that is so so true... I literally had a list of 10 majors and 15 minors I wanted and kept adding things
Thank you for this video. I’m soon entering university and have been trepidatious about doing a math and physics double major, this really helped a lot. Especially the last point as for what I’m looking to peruse I will need both and am more confident in my decision
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.
Senior in high school and the university I'm going to has a flat rate of $17,000 per year. This included dorm costs and general tuition. It's the reason why I chose to arrive for that dual major. It brings the average cost per credit hour down, meaning I am a Tually saving money in the long run
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
The classes you can take for minors differs from university. At my university I majored in Math, Applied Math and Stats. Not from day one cause I was a pure and Applied math major till my 3rd year. 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.
Is it crazy if I want to do a whole extra major for like, fun? Like it will never help me in getting a job after college, I just genuinely want to learn the content. Is it worth all the extra time and effort? Edit: This video was super well thought-out, honest, and helpful, thank you so much!
It's crazy and financially irresponsible to me. You can learn skill sets for free or for little investment on the internet. Going to university shouldn't be treated like a hobby, it's an instituion to set you up for life. I'm not some financial guru though, so do you as wish. I'm not sure what your life is like or how much you make right now, so what's unfeasible to me might be feasible to you.
@@easadesad3227 I already said if it's feasible for you, then fine. I still think it's overkill though, but again my opinion isn't worth much in the grand scheme of things.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Do you have any advice for those double majoring in fields that are different from each other? I’m planning on double majoring in biochemistry and data science as data science would be very helpful in the research field, but the classes very different from each other.
I'm probably working on the easiest double major out there, political science and philosophy. Pretty much every one of my classes are cross listed, everyone point and laugh at me
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
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
I took two AP classes in HS Euro and US comparative politics and gfovernmetn knocked oiut a whole chunk of tuittion for my polisci degree though I studeid in Canada wher etuititon is much lower then Id ecide to do my masters in Queens Univeristy belfast human rightr law lanmded a job a teh ICC started up my Own NGO in South Africa marreid a beautiful Malawian model and in teh end it wa sthe African continent that truly saved me
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 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
What should I do if I wanted to major in engineering (electrical) and in business. For business I love the marketing aspect of things and dealing with people to figure out the best way to get yourself noticed. I also love dealing with money. But it’s so much different than electrical engineering that it would be hard to find a job that actually combines the two
I want to double major in Spanish and French, and double minor in Italian and international studies. Hahaha- they are similar but not at all at the same time lol That’s just a very rough draft of my plan. It shall be edited
I want to double major in History and Economics after my first semester at USF and I have already created a plan about what classes I should do for both majors:)
I want to double major but I'm trying to weigh out if it's a smart decision to do especially for my freshmen year in college because the majors are completely different fields of study. so basically my question is should I double major in those two different fields of study or should I just do a major and minor?
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
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.
Not me watching AFTER I had already enrolled for a double degree in Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics major in Financial Economics/Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. I AM killing myself slowly but surely socially, mentally, and physically
What you said in No. 9, my majors are Psychology and Science which basically is Neuroscience. The two of them serves as a way for me to understand and do my job better as a Neuroscientist. I'd like an advice if it is really necessary to have two majors for Neuroscience?
Bro you just spilled the beans on the game of college lol. So basically don't waste your credits with useless classes in art, photography and running lol.
It sounds good you just have to set your goals right , be patient and have determination. I also want to double in mechanical engineering and computer science.
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
of course there is a lot more research to do on my end but i'm thinking about double majoring in environmental engineering and comp sci. a major and minor might even suffice but this video is a real gem and it's very interesting to see all the combinations people are interested in pursuing.
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
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 :)))
Do a stem field and actually research the unit cap before doing it? Psychology is only useful at the phd level and accounting will be killed by blockchain in 5-10 years. Both are not worth your time. Also avoid anything with the word management / business unless you already work in a field with tons of work experience. Also do CLEP and AP Exams to get rid of GE during your high school years.
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.
What I wish I knew before becoming a Math Major!

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!
Is electrical engineering and computer science related
@@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.

1) It can be easy to do if done right
2) Cross-listed classes
3) Planning out class schedules years ahead
4) It can be hard to communicate your plan to advisors

6) You're not gonna impress people
7) Employers won't care (at least not a lot)
8) It can be addicting (like Steam achievements)
9) You might want to double down on one thing (ask yourself why, take a step back)
Why would they not care. How is that not a way to stand out.
Very sad about it, I really like math, but doing it and gaining only the knowledge from it is, for me, a downfall. All they care about is experience, the right experiences ,and I will end up deciding for the ones with math envolved.@@chrismarklowitz1001
I’m currently a college freshman, wanting to double major in Psychology and Micro biology with a minor in Neuroscience and I feel like I’m

I don’t know if you’re doing it or not already but if you’re passionate I think you will succeed at it, it’s gonna be hard perhaps but I’m sure between all of them there’s similarities. Just like he said; for example between psychology and neuroscience you might find some similarities? And between biology and neuro as well because science perhaps
Is that possible? Double major and a minor?
@@justinlopez5083 depends on the country, in the US is quite common (I’m not from US but some friends are and I’ve known of them majoring/minoring in different things)
I also wanted to do double Masters as I already completed my masters in Food Quality control and I wanted to do double in US but Iam cofused between the groups Microbiology or Biochemistry which one to take.
whats the update. I might be crazier wanting to double major econ/stats and double minor cs and mandarin. I planned it out though so total course credits are 248 units (quarter system)
The "addiction" is so accurate lol
It's a legitimate problem!
Did y’all take AP in Highschools?
@@blackpanther788 and IB
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.
Black Panther I took a few AP classes, but I mainly focused on duel enrollment classes that transferred as college credit.
I personally wouldn't care what other people think. I'd tell them I have a double major if they get upset they're just jealous. If it's something you put time into and worked hard to do, you should be able to say both.
Agreed
Going into my senior year as a double major in astrophysics and math. It's hard but I like it
My dream. ❤.
Thank you for this genuine wisdom. No one could've gotten this en masse back in the day in the way we can today.
You're very welcome
Your 9th point really hit home. I realized way too late in my physics degree that it’s not what I enjoyed studying and decided to pick up a math major as well. I ended up completing it anyways along with the math major and I’m starting my masters in mathematics this fall. Things usually fall into place but would’ve been a much smoother experience if I just studied math the whole way and maybe did a physics minor instead. Great video!
maybe you will be the next John Nash
The credit transfer tidbit was an amazing revelation for me! It made me go and search up my college's policy, and sure enough, they only transfer credits, and not the grades (it doesn't affect your school GPA).
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.

Very glad to hear it! Have a nice day and thanks for watching.
Thank you, I’ve been changing my 4 year plan constantly, adding and doubling courses like you said to the point where it seems ridiculous even to myself. It’s time to double down
Thank you for making these videos. Its helpful to hear a first hand experience on these very important decisions.

I related so hard to the getting addicted. I tried to add like 2 minors to my dual-degree and even tried adding another major, but took a step-back and decided to just do my 2 degrees (and decided to graduate a year early lol)
Update: A little hypocritical, I am now a triple major 💀
Hear me out: I want to go into machine learning. Not sure if I want to do ML research or go into industry, but either way, ML uses a ton of statistics. My math degree only required 1 stats class, I wouldn't have known anything about stats really. I would've probably known *enough* to get by, but wouldn't have really understood it
So, now my majors are CS, math, and stats. At least the stats degree is only 6 extra classes (basically a minor) and not like taking another major such as physics (which is the other major I was considering int he original post. It would've been 12 extra classes or something like that)
@@soulsofwar8985 I want to know more of dual majoring! I’m more inclined to to accounting, business,and finances. What do you think!?
@@fujimizuki9727 I think those are all great degrees and I believe they will have plenty of overlap! If you are truly passionate about it then it'll work out for you, however, if you are just okay with them and think it is a good idea you might not want to do all of them. Keep in mind that the more you add on to your courseload, the less lee-way you'll have. Your friends in your major are taking an optional class next semester that sounds super fun? You might not have room for that. There is some sacrifice, but if you really enjoy what you are studying I think it is worth it!

never to late
I'm going to do a double major computer engineering and software engineering. I've been in love with computers since 10 years old and these two majors are so related. I've been planning from high school and I'm so ready.
You sound like you've thought it though- best of luck!!
@@BriTheMathGuy thanks :)
6:30 : how to break the edu system!
really planning to double major in physics and computer science. i love both. physics because i feel like it’s my hearts calling, i love reading about it and unknown mysteries of the universe. physics always peaks my curiosity. i don’t want to throw it aside just because of people not being impressed or that it may be a little more difficult it’s truly a personal thing. but the financial situation with only physics may not be sustainable for a comfortable salary hence computer science. unless you won a nobel or came up with a great notable contribution.
i’ll have computer science which im gonna work hard in to get a comfortable salary in software engineering. starting college in about two weeks. still gonna decide and ask myself what i really want to do each day. it may sound like i have it all figured out but i don’t. hopefully my advisor is a great listener ha. my situation is basically what i love/what reality calls for.
Hi! I am interested in how it is going for you I too am thinking of double majoring in both CS and Physics. Physics has always really peaked my interest as well as CS. But I have became so interested in quantum computing I feel like I really want to go into it but i already just started my first semester second year. I feel like it sounds pretty hard and I don't know if I might even make it all that far plus it is a bit later in the year already.
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.
Going to uni for one in CS and math, hyped up and stressed out at the same time.
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.
This video is very useful and relatable in a lot of ways... especially the part about seeming like you are showing off.. when someone asks me my major half the time I just say business because saying "management information systems and economics" sounds so long and confusing
edit: and I just made it to the part about it being addicting and that is so so true... I literally had a list of 10 majors and 15 minors I wanted and kept adding things
Thank you for this video. I’m soon entering university and have been trepidatious about doing a math and physics double major, this really helped a lot. Especially the last point as for what I’m looking to peruse I will need both and am more confident in my decision
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.
Senior in high school and the university I'm going to has a flat rate of $17,000 per year. This included dorm costs and general tuition. It's the reason why I chose to arrive for that dual major. It brings the average cost per credit hour down, meaning I am a Tually saving money in the long run
I'd like to think he states a point, then walks to the other side of the shot, and says another bullet point.
Hey, ya never know :)
Everything you said Is relatable! This video helped so much
Thank you!
You're very welcome. Glad it could help.
Thanks, this was really informative. 👍🏾
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you that was so helpful and it I liked what you said at the end. I would definitely do more classes for my major instead of doubling the work
Glad it was helpful!

Great video, thanks! I am interested in double majoring in International Business and Spanish. 😊

Good luck 😊
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
The classes you can take for minors differs from university.
At my university I majored in Math, Applied Math and Stats. Not from day one cause I was a pure and Applied math major till my 3rd year. 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
Thanks for the info. Am about to venture into the world of scholars and your video is definitely the advice I'm looking for. ❤
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.
Is it crazy if I want to do a whole extra major for like, fun? Like it will never help me in getting a job after college, I just genuinely want to learn the content. Is it worth all the extra time and effort?
Edit: This video was super well thought-out, honest, and helpful, thank you so much!
I’m honestly feeling the same way😅The idea of having an extra skill set just sounds appealing to me.
It's crazy and financially irresponsible to me. You can learn skill sets for free or for little investment on the internet. Going to university shouldn't be treated like a hobby, it's an instituion to set you up for life.
I'm not some financial guru though, so do you as wish. I'm not sure what your life is like or how much you make right now, so what's unfeasible to me might be feasible to you.
@@thanosthemadtitan5518 where I am from it doesn't make a difference if I take one or two degrees so will it change your mind now?
@@easadesad3227 I already said if it's feasible for you, then fine. I still think it's overkill though, but again my opinion isn't worth much in the grand scheme of things.

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?
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.
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.
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
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.
Cancel Culture Doesn't exist yeah technically
I wanna double major dance an electrical&computer engineering at University of Washington! It’ll be hard but still, I wanna.

Do you have any advice for those double majoring in fields that are different from each other? I’m planning on double majoring in biochemistry and data science as data science would be very helpful in the research field, but the classes very different from each other.
I'm probably working on the easiest double major out there, political science and philosophy. Pretty much every one of my classes are cross listed, everyone point and laugh at me

I love your advices. I’m going to double down.
You got this!
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
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
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.

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.
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!
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.

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).
Fantastic video! Thank you

Am I the only one that wants to double major in 2 different majors? Bio and business 🥲
Same. I'm majoring in climatology and next year I'll start Chinese language and history 😂💔
i just accepted a one in computer science and engineering...
I’m a Biology (pre-med) and Economics double major
i've been wanting to double major in biomedical (also pre-med) & psychology :)
i also want to know how everything is working out !
Thanks so much!!
You're welcome!
This video is so so good
Thank you for your advices, that helps me not to take double because it might become useless
I want to double major in History and Economics after my first semester at USF and I have already created a plan about what classes I should do for both majors:)
I want to double major but I'm trying to weigh out if it's a smart decision to do especially for my freshmen year in college because the majors are completely different fields of study. so basically my question is should I double major in those two different fields of study or should I just do a major and minor?
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.
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
Yeah I was thinking about majoring both as well
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.
Not me watching AFTER I had already enrolled for a double degree in Bachelor of Science in Applied Economics major in Financial Economics/Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. I AM killing myself slowly but surely socially, mentally, and physically
Could Library Science and English Literature work together?
Wow, great video.
Thanks!
point #9 really hit home, noticed that there is literally no reason for me wanting to do a double major
What you said in No. 9, my majors are Psychology and Science which basically is Neuroscience. The two of them serves as a way for me to understand and do my job better as a Neuroscientist. I'd like an advice if it is really necessary to have two majors for Neuroscience?
Wow...great tips...
I’m thinking of doing Bachelors in Cyber Security with a minor in international business
Bro you just spilled the beans on the game of college lol. So basically don't waste your credits with useless classes in art, photography and running lol.
Thank you for good video bb
You're welcome. Have a great day!
I want mechanical engineering and archaeology majors. How does that sound?
That sounds cool, but mechanical engineering tends to be very credit-heavy so it might end up taking 5 or more years.
@@pearspeedruns I realised I don't even wanna go to college at all🤣
@@piratekingthethtaroo that works too lol
It sounds good you just have to set your goals right , be patient and have determination. I also want to double in mechanical engineering and computer science.
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
of course there is a lot more research to do on my end but i'm thinking about double majoring in environmental engineering and comp sci. a major and minor might even suffice but this video is a real gem and it's very interesting to see all the combinations people are interested in pursuing.
Im double majoring in computational mathematics and physics at Liberty and literally all my classes are cross-listed.
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
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 :)))
Do you think a double major in computer science and finance is a good idea?
Is a double major of physics and aerospace/ mechanical engineering with a minor in astronomy possible?
Hey, I’m pretty young i’m 14 but is it possible to double major in psychology and accounting? or that’s not how it works i’m confused
As far as I know you can double major in any topics you want. Best of luck!
Wow that's cooo, I'm 13 and I'm thinking about double majoring accounting and buisness
Do a stem field and actually research the unit cap before doing it? Psychology is only useful at the phd level and accounting will be killed by blockchain in 5-10 years. Both are not worth your time. Also avoid anything with the word management / business unless you already work in a field with tons of work experience. Also do CLEP and AP Exams to get rid of GE during your high school years.
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.
I wanting to double major in computer engineering and architecture
But it will be really hurt for me 🙂
I am planning a double major in finance and marketing but literally have no idea if I should...
I'd like to do Accounting and Finance.
Hahahaha I giggle about 6:54 This is so good. Thank you
