\nshe got nothing on me
\nbros majoring in unemployment
\nthey ain't ready for me
\nIf you could get your hands on a time turner, you could do 3. <slacker />
\nin the next life i\u2019m doing 4
\nI don't know how you are doing it. I have two classmates doing their master's in 3 terms. Insane.
\nThe main thing cooking you is the commute between the campuses. Popular Music pairing with Computer Science is crazy work. Keep it up my guy.
\nnah you\u2019re so real for that\ni\u2019ve been doing this since term two, it\u2019s a bit of a hassle but it\u2019s definitely doable
\nI wasn't gonna say anything else since you seem like you got this in the bag, but someone brought up the grind and the possible burnout.\nI'm not faculty but I'm also not a student. I do work in the music department and I do have enough resources to give you a hand if you ever need any. I hope you will never need me, but if for whatever reasons, come back to this post and hmu.
\ni seriously appreciate that! i\u2019ll keep you in mind when the inevitable burnout starts creeping in!
\n450 - Sen is basically 2 tests + 4 quizzes + 1 project for your grade. That project could really suck or be quick to do, depends on the year. He curves hard after the drop date.
\n\n460 - Conceptually fairly straightforward, but heavy workload
\n\n464 - EZ with Bala
\ni appreciate you; my CSE classes are the only thing remotely cooking me, and i think this confirms to me that it\u2019s totally doable
\ngood ole' Balasooriya still going I see
\nYou are cooked but fear the fork
\nI met a triple major while I was taking CSE 445 with Balasooriya. We ended doing a group project together and that dude literally had a window of like 2 hours a week that was the only time he could meet us outside of class lol. He was chill af too. I hope he's doing well wherever he is now.
\nAcademic WMD
\nWas he doing math electrical and computer systems by any chance
\nI knew a guy in high school who planned on being a quadruple major while being enlisted in the Marines.
\n\nHaven't heard from him since graduation but I think the only thing that worked for him was enlisting lmfao
\nDude you really should have picked one or the other and then done IDM for a masters. Or just gone for AME and CSE, cause AME students can still specialize in an art (like music) and take classes in that area
\nI did two unrelated majors in four years, which included AP credits and summer courses. It's definitely possible. I also had a minor.
\n\nThe most credits I did in a single semester was 18. In many cases, the core requirements of one major satisfied the electives of the other major.
\n\nRemember: it's not just about quantity; the end goal is to learn. Enjoy the journey, friend.
\ni appreciate you! i\u2019m enjoying every second of it :)
\nMay I ask if you did a double major? If I\u2019m doing two business double majors and an advisor said I need 30 credits for my first year to apply for another, would it be feasible to complete 10 classes a semester? Would I need to take summer school? I\u2019m currently a senior n just wanna get more opinions :) ty! (Not sure if I wrote this right or not)
\nso i\u2019m doing computer science & popular music. 30 credits in a year is 15 a semester, and can be completed with 4-6 classes a semester. taking 10 classes in a term is not feasible ftmp, i just find that i am able to manage the workload.
\n\nif you plan on doing two, start out with 4-6 classes and ramp up. find your limit. the only reason i feel confident with this workload next term is because i\u2019m taking 9 classes right now for a total of 25 credits.
\nSo even tho I need 30 credits in order to qualify for a double major , that just can\u2019t be done within a year? Did u take CS and music in the same year together in freshman year? Did u have to pick one major first then qualify for the other? Cause if I can\u2019t handle that many classes that\u2019d mean I won\u2019t be able to double unless I go to summer school
\nso what i ended up doing was taking all comp sci classes term one (15 credits), then i took ~18 my second term, with some music classes and some comp sci classes. to get into those music classes i worked w my advisor to get overrides into them. i didnt officially get my double majoring until the end of term three when i had 30 completed credits
\nAlso is there a major cost difference in double majoring ? I heard it\u2019s not much more unless u get a masters
\ni dont believe so. i\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s the same as one major.
\nI just thought of another question\u2026how you only taking 15-18 credits for both majors if you need unique credits for each major? Are you taking ~6 classes focusing on just one major then the next term you focus on another? Wouldn\u2019t that mean you won\u2019t graduate within 4 years if you\u2019re not simultaneously taking both?
\ndepending on the major, you can get away with different amounts of tomfoolery\nif i were you, i\u2019d plan out your four years in a spreadsheet, and make sure you fill all DAAR requirements. then just get overrides for the classes you need until you qualify to officially put both majors on your transcript
\nBe prepared and definitely take measures to avoid burnout- it will catch up to you quickly- and as long as you\u2019re okay with not engaging in social activities you should be fine\nEdit: Also make sure you have a tight scheduling system and set days/times to complete courseworks, quizzes, projects, collaborative meetings for group projects, discussion boards, essays, online learning modules, readings, field assignments, etc. that need to be completed weekly for each course to ensure your assignments are well organized and turned in on time. Be aware that some courses may have work loads more akin to 3 credit hour courses despite being a 1 credit hour class, and budget for all necessary books, materials, softwares that may need to be purchased (unless you have no financial limitations in which case just make sure you get what you need before you scramble last minute)
\ni appreciate you! i\u2019m taking 25 rn, 23 last term, and i plan to take 20 something for my final term. i apply a lot of these strategies in my life right now and i\u2019m always looking for ways to manage better.
\nOfc! I found that using canva to create personal organization and scheduling sheets to hand write on and using a digital calendar and/or organization tool to double down and ensure I always had a copy of my to-dos and it helped me remember everything easier having to write down and enter the info multiple times- self discipline AND self care are you best friends rn good luck!
\ni love this idea. i use ClickUp as a secondary task-oriented calendar and i try my best to schedule personal events & scheduling there too. i\u2019ve had a great experience with it, and i\u2019m a massive advocate for self organization. thank you for the well wishes!
\nBro ur more than cooked ur burnt to a crisp
\nI\u2019m not gonna comment on how hard it is to double major with those those, I just wanna say that Raul is the GOAT
\nRAUL IS THE GOAT \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25
\nBut why? This isn\u2019t going to get you ahead in the future. You\u2019re just paying more and taking away your free time.
\nLast I checked you don't pay for classes over a certain amount of credits.
\nyou\u2019re right @vorilant
\n\nover 8 credits, it literally doesn\u2019t cost you a penny to take more. as long as you\u2019re a \u201cfull time student\u201d it\u2019s a flat rate. so i\u2019m getting two degrees in 4 years for the price of one
\nDoes this also apply to online? I\u2019m trying to get my second bachelors as fast as possible.
\nnot sure, check the ASU tuition calculator.
\nUnfortunately, it doesn\u2019t seem to be the case when I check it on there. I\u2019ll have to ask my advisor. I feel like it\u2019s kind of confusing here more than my previous school. It says I\u2019m getting 6250 for student loans for Fall 2025 for full time and that seems suuuuper low. And according to the tuition calculator, definitely won\u2019t cover extra classes, let alone basic full time.
\nSide note, good on you for the ambition and taking 2 programs at once. You got this!
\nI took 23 semester hours my first semester at U of AL. I was required to talk to a counselor and she approved it. My reasoning was that I had just gotten out of the Army and was used to working 12 hour shifts in a very intense cerebral job. Plus my fianc\u00e9 was still in the Army and stationed halfway across the country so no social life. I did fine, got great grades but for the rest of my college career usually only did 18 hours. Maybe you can do this. But I think you\u2019ll find it takes a toll.
\ni\u2019m hoping for the best. i\u2019m pretty confident i can get this done with a high GPA. i\u2019m averaging a 3.9ish and it\u2019s not taking too big of a toll on me
\nwhat a coincidence im sitting in cse 460 with that same prof rn (the lectures are very boring)
\ngood note fr
\nBetter off double majoring and being addicted to the grind than to minor in partying and wind up addicted to any of the popular party drugs that are all over and around ASU like many students, some who don't even end up finishing 1 major let alone 2 like yourself. Good for you homie, although personally I think it's better to have majors that are related to each other to increase your hireability in the field you're aiming for, since you've explained the financial incentives behind the intense course load I hope that it works out and that you enjoy the education.
\n\nOf course I hope you prioritize staying organized as it will help you stay on top of all the work from everything and don't be afraid to rely on your phones calender or even those planner apps that ask you to put in details about every task in your schedule and then automagically organize everything to be the most effective way to get every task done before the deadline. Sounds like a good way to stay on top of your work and schedule to me but I don't have nearly enough things on my to do list to be worth trying for me personally, so I can't give a truly honest review I just thought it might be useful for you.
\n\nI hope you have a plan for group projects as that will likely be the most challenging part of your plan to complete a double major as others might not be happy about having to work around your packed schedule to actually get things done together. In this scenario it might be easiest to schedule one meeting to delegate tasks and then allow everyone to complete their assigned part of the project and one final meeting before the due date to put it all together and do any last minute editing to make things work better and be more polished.
\n\nI think if you can handle the social costs of this ambitious double major it's a great way to save money on the cost of your education. With how insanely expensive degrees are now it makes total sense to double major when they're not charging you for any classes beyond a certain amount required for a regular major. Basically getting that second degree completely free. The only thing it's costing you is a social life in college, which some would argue is a huge cost as college is a once in a lifetime unique social environment and experience for many, but I also believe it's over-rated and overemphasized in terms of importance by many. While it can be a great place to meet adult friends who might be friends for the rest of your life, just as many relocate for a job and find themselves never or very rarely talking to their college friends again. While it can be harder to meet friends as an adult than it is when in college it's far from impossible to meet friends as an adult if you're comfortable going to clubs, bars, coffee shops, restaurants, parks, and even concerts alone. Anywhere people gather socially is a good place to meet new friends as an adult.
\n\nAll this is to say that by focusing on a double major instead of socializing you're not actually missing that much that is college exclusive. You can make friends for the rest of your life, you might not get a second chance to get an extra degree for free for buying the first. I think it's cool that you're getting a double major although I do think it's a missed opportunity to get 2 degrees that are related and compliment each other it's your life and education so if you want to unrelated degrees that are just two different things that you like and would like to learn more about them that's your choice and God given right. You do you homie and I hope you are well on your way towards a double major degree(s?). I hope you do well on your tests and get fantastic grades for all your core classes.\u270c\ufe0f

\ni appreciate the long response dude! i think double majoring to me is, aside from the monetary benefits, about enjoying college. my music major keeps me super social and i\u2019m always working on projects / new songs. the computer science major is my intended work path, while the music major is there to keep me sane and shows that i\u2019m a hard worker to employers
\nNO
\nYES!!!
\nouch
\nI have no knowledge of anything related to these classes but 28 credits sounds very intense. IMO that\u2019s way too much. You won\u2019t have time for social activities, which is half of the fun and experience of being in college especially at ASU. Maybe these classes won\u2019t actually be that much work but I have a feeling you\u2019ll just be doing school nonstop for 4 months which will lead to burnout and a serious lack of sleep
\nyou\u2019d be surprised how much sleep i get even now with 25 credits. i probably average 7-8 a night and i still make time to game w my friends when i can. tbh this semester has been a lot more chill than my 23 cred term last year.
\nNaa, you're well done and moderately burnt. You'll be fine, some ppl like their steaks that way.
\ni like it a little crisp :)
\nBro why
\nI'm planning to do something similar, do you have any advice on how to get these continually increasing credit overload? I'm currently taking 22 credits at the moment, but I am worried about my future overload requests being denied. I know that anything above 22 credits requires a meeting with the dean, how was that?
\nso it depends on the major. for music, my credit overloads get approved by my herberger advisor up to 24 credits, and after that they go to my advisor\u2019s boss. idek how comp sci overloads work tbh bc i just do it all through herberger
\nI had a few friends do music with another major (plus Barrett requirements) when I was in undergrad and they all graduated in 4 years still. It\u2019s totally doable and you sound like you have it handled!! Just remember you can always do less and stay an extra semester or two if it becomes too much.
\ni fully agree. i think im going to scale an online class back to have only 25 credits\u2026 but it all still feels very doable
\nI cannot comment haha, I am taking EEE 203 (signals and systems :: HARD). EEE242 (electromagnetic fundamentals :: HARD), EEE334 (circuits II:: time consuming in some aspects), and EEE 350 (statistics:: surprisingly easy until the exam), and CSE something or other (assembly). Yeah, this semester has been too much. It doesn't help we are in the last week of C courses and I have half the material in signals and systems left to cover. (That class really got away from me).
\nThat is your choice, but I would indeed focus on just one major and get a minor rather than a double major. I feel like 28 credits would make me get through all info fast and I might eventually forget afterwards, which I do not want to.
\nMake sure you have a lot of THC lol
\nI\u2019m taking mine online but I did this\u2026or am currently doing this. I did 21 creds last semesters but split in two sessions. Wasn\u2019t easy but doable, but I think I\u2019m starting to feel the burnout
\nI'm trying to take two unrelated majors in four years. At this point, I think I could take 100 credits and still pass my classes. This is my schedule next term, and it's 28 credits.
