<p>Let’s say I majored in X, Y, and Z.</p>
<p>Would I graduate with a BA in X, a BA in Y, and a BA in Z? Or would I graduate with a BA in X, Y, and Z?</p>
<p>you graduate with one BA in X, Y, and Z. My brother tripple majored at berkeley and he has one degree which lists that he majored in X, Y, and Z.</p>

<p>^^ you couldn’t have asked that in that thread?</p>

or the thousands of other threads you created about triple majoring in college, getting the same degrees for masters, and applying to PhD programs etc.</p>
<p>In all honestly, it wouldn’t matter how many degrees you got. The diploma will say BA in XYZ, but you can list BA in X, BA in Y, BA in Z on your resume. And if they’re from different colleges, you can probably 2 diplomas (similtaneous degree).</p>
<p>But you are still a high schooler. It’s a little early to think about these things. You might fail math your first semester, and then you’ll find that you don’t want to triple major or whatever. Things happen. School isn’t the end of the world. So stop trying to plan for your 3 PhDs when you are 17…</p>
<p>I know people who have seriously entered college thinking of triple majoring and double minoring in stuff, and all kinds of crazy plans about how everything is gonna work out great in 4 years xD Lol, yeah, they end up changing their mind pretty quick.</p>
<p>If you wanna triple major, it’ll be a lot easier if the three majors are closely related and have prereq’s in common (although, look into the max. number of prereqs that count for more than 1 major). Plan it out carefulllllly</p>
<p>If you were to triple major in computer science (L&S), psychology (L&S), and bioengineering (CoE), would you get a BA in “computer science and psychology” and a BS in bioengineering? Or would you receive one degree for all three?</p>
<p>You would receive two degrees (one degree per college), and the BA degree from L&S would have dual majors.</p>
<p>Lemoncat is right on as usual. I agree that it’s most useful to focus as much as possible on what’s in front of you, then see how you feel about the thing after. Planning is great, as good planners make good UC students. Go for what you want, but leave room for change as you grow & learn. That’s what college is for!</p>
<p>Of course, that’s only if I’m taking you seriously :)</p>
<p>Why would you not take me seriously…?</p>
<p>does anyone know how course overlapping works for triple majors? i know that if you double major, you can use a maximum of two courses to fulfill upper division requirements for both majors. if you triple major, can you only use two courses to fulfill upper division requirements for all three majors, or do you get two courses between each “set” of two majors? (i.e., if you triple major in econ, stat and math, can you only use econ 101a/101b to count for econ, stat and math, or can you use econ 101a/101b to count for econ and math, econ and stat, and then use econ 136/econ 141 to count for math and stat?)</p>
<p>sorry if this is confusing; i searched the l&s website and couldn’t find a satisfactory answer.</p>
<p>its so rare it is something you should just take up with the L&S Advising office. They don’t have the policy defined, nor do they have forms prepared for triple majoring, because it is truly an exceptional event.</p>
<p>Only two “two-fers” per major, if that makes sense. I agree about seeing a College Advisor. It’s rare, but done very occasionally.</p>
