<p>Which colleges are good choices for those pursuing more than one major? List, anyone?</p>
<p>Brown? No core?</p>
<p>USC encourages double majors or major + minors in disparate fields. There’s even a scholarship offered (Renaissance Scholar)</p>
<p>At the Duke admissions information session last week, all four tour guides were multiple majors (“I’m double-majoring in Biology and Chemistry with a concentration in Philosophy.”). By the fourth tour guide, the audience started laughing. The admissions officer said it’s very common at Duke.</p>
<p>IMO, smaller schools with less bureaucracy…</p>
<p>Rice would be a good choice.</p>
<p>One school to avoid would be Reed. There are a few popular combinations of double-majors that are formally offered (e.g., math-economics, or chemistry-physics), but if you want to do anything else you have to complete two separate theses, which makes it basically impossible to double-major in disparate fields.</p>
<p>Schools that offer the quarter system (Northwestern, UCs, etc.)</p>
<p>Northwestern!!! They require large number of classes to graduate (45) yet one major + distribution take up only about 30 courses at the most. Many people use the large number of electives to do second major.</p>
<p>Wash U - doesn’t something like 40% double-major there?</p>
<p>Any other schools to avoid for double-majoring in disparate fields?</p>
<p>what about triple majoring? quadruple? quintdruple? i’m not saying that pursuing five majors at once is a good (or easy…eh possible) thing</p>
<p>Northwestern because the quarter system makes it more doable. For example, to take 15 courses in one year, you can take 5 per quarter which is tough but fairly doable. To do the equivalence in a semester system, you have to take 7 per semester which is tougher to do and often not viable due to conflicting schedule.</p>
<p>Case Western is very good for double and triple majors. All our tour guides 4 years ago had multiple majors and my son has not found it difficult to double major.</p>
<p>Any school not named UC Berkeley. I’m killing myself trying to double major.</p>
<p>^ You can do it, bro… 
</p>
<p>Most Berkeley university medalists are double majors… with 4.0 GPAs to boot.</p>
<p>U of Rochester if youre looking for something less selective. They are also a “no core” institution.</p>
<p>Do people triple major as well??</p>
<p>Some people do, but it’s usually not encouraged because triple majoring often means sacrificing depth for breadth. </p>
<p>It depends on the school('s requirements) and the actual majors and person, of course.</p>
