Double Majors and Minors

This section is aimed at students who enter as Frosh with MATH 19A completed or eligible.

The major planner for junior transfer students is quite full, and it is difficult to come up with additional majors/minors that can be completed in time.

 

4-year major planner for physics + computational math double major

(Transfer students should only try this path if they have completed the equivalent of Math 21 and Math 24 in community college, and should still expect to take 3 years to graduate.)

Four year students can do this path if they have completed Math 19A or the equivalent course in community college, or have Math AP credit.

In addition to the courses shown in the planners, a student must also satisfy all other university and college requirements for graduation, including courses satisfying the CC, ER, IM, TA, PE, PR and C general education requirements. This may require taking some courses during the summer. 

 

These major planners assumes that

  • you have Physics 116A waived from the requirements for the physics degree by getting a B or better in both Math 21 and in Math 24
  • you can take two GE courses in the summers or by overloading.
  • students who are doing a Physics Department and Math Department double major and take Math 107 in 2016-17 or later will have Physics 116C waived from the requirements for the physics degree.
  • all courses taken for credit towards the physics degree will be taken for a letter grade.
