<p>It can be done. The next question to ask is how difficult is it to do? Difficulty is both subject matter and scheduling. Let’s assume the subject matter is not an issue and it is just a scheduling question - the answer is “it depends”.</p>

<ol>
<li> How many units (credits) are you entering with?</li>
<li> Are you able to waive any of the required courses (from AP and college credits?)</li>
<li> Are you planning to do more than the average of 15 units per quarter?</li>
<li> Will you eventually be drawn to do more depth in one area than is required for the degree? (e.g. you need X units for CS, but you like it so much you do X+20 units).
5 Are you considering doing an “honors” degree for one or both?</li>
</ol>

<p>Each of the departments list the requirements for the major on the web. The one caveat to be careful of is that with few exceptions you can’t use one course to satisfy the requirements for both degrees. (The exceptions are IIRC for the introductory courses such as calculus).</p>
