I’m entering Stanford as a potential econ major (as I stated in my application), but I’m also attracted to computer science. I assume that the first two years involve taking classes from a variety of disciplines, so it would be possible to try out econ and comp science courses and see which ones I like? Also is there a comp science with econ minor? Or an econ major with comp science minor? I understand double majoring in these two disciplines would be very difficult. So I’m considering one of the above options. Is it possible? Which courses would you recommend to take so as to get a better understanding in comp science (I have little experience with programming)?
