<p>is it doable to double major in econ (Math route) and CS?</p>
<p>is a schedule like this killer? or will i still have couple of hours of free time at night daily for some other stuff?</p>

<p>My econ 101a section:</p>
<p>Hey guys, say your name and major:</p>
<p>Girl 1: Econ and CS
Girl 2: Econ and CS
Guy 1: Econ and CS
Me: … maybe econ
Guy 3: Econ and CS</p>
<p>are they freshman who skipped econ1 or what?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure all were sophomores or above.</p>
<p>so its not really wise to skip econ1 even if i took the equivalent at CC?</p>
<p>I don’t think you can use CC course for prereq. Not too sure. If you can, by all means I guess. My econ teacher wasn’t very good for Econ 1.</p>
<p>It depends on major, but most majors allow you to use CC courses as a prereq.</p>
<p>CC econ is fine. </p>
<p>I’d say EECS + Econ is a very common major because of the breadth requirements of EECS which makes you take pretty much 1/2 the econ reqs anyways.</p>
<p>And that schedule looks light enough :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Economics 101A does list Math 53 as a prerequisite.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The community college introductory economics courses usually articulate to Economics 1 at Berkeley, according to [url=<a href=“http://www.assist.org%5DWelcome”>http://www.assist.org]Welcome</a> to ASSIST<a href=“though%20the%20community%20college%20introductory%20economics%20courses%20are%20usually%20split%20into%20two%20courses%20for%20micro%20and%20macro”>/url</a>. So don’t bother with Economics 1 if you already had the equivalent introductory economics at community college.</p>
<p>Use the schedule space for some other course you need and/or are interested in. For example, you can take both Math 53 and 54, or CS 70, or Statistics 20 or 21, for the majors you are interested in. You could also take some other breadth course(s) (CS + Economics will automatically fulfill L&S PS and SBS (some Economics courses also satisfy HS or IS), so you may want to choose something that fulfills AL, BS, HS, IS, or PV).</p>
<p>Wow. Coming into this thread, I really hadn’t thought of pairing Econ and CS. I guess it’s more popular than I thought…? Are there any more Econ double major pairings that are as popular, or as lucrative?</p>
<p>EDIT: Applied Math, maybe, or Stats?</p>
<p>Only about one fourth of Economics 100/101 enrollment is in 101.</p>
<p>It would not be surprising if the double majors in 101 are more likely to be math, statistics, or CS.</p>
<p>Nor would it be surprising if the double majors in 100 are more likely to be UGBA or other social studies majors.</p>
<p>so guys, you are telling me that i will be able to have 2-3hours of free time at night everyday with these 3 classes together?
i thought it would be deadly to take all 3 together, let along taking another breath class.</p>
<p>those 3 classes together are difficult but not impossible. math 53/54 are more annoying than hard. if you take a 4th ‘filler’ breadth class P/NP, you will still have a couple of hours to yourself every night (assuming you don’t procrastinate at all).</p>
<p>i’m kind of stuck between choosing econ+cs double or just cs major + learning japanese without majoring in it.
i’m not sure which one will benefit me more in the future. i am little bit interested in learning japanese since i already know chinese. might as well learn another language in college.</p>
<p>you can do it all - just do around 18 units a semester or so :)</p>
<p>

<p>Economics and math courses do not generally have time consuming labs – if you like math and are good at it, you should not find those courses to be that difficult. CS 61A/B/C does have significant computer programming assignments which can take time.</p>
<p>Now, if you decided to take CS 61A along with Physics 7A, Chemistry 1A or 4A, and Biology 1B, that would be a lot of work. Also be careful of the workload of humanities and social studies courses with big term projects, art studio courses, and music performance courses.</p>
<p>cs61a, econ 1, math 53 is easy for someone interested in CS/Econ.
I took those 3 classes and a freshman seminar my first semester here and I had an absurd amount of free time (but free time is quite nice).</p>
<p>Your schedule will probably be harder in the future.</p>

i would love to take all cs, econ, and japanese. but i don’t think i will have any free time outside of school work. i’m planning to join a sport with 3 practices a week</p>
