Hi @baltomom94 – good luck to your son this weekend! My son loves the program and is working hard in it. He had wanted to do a dual math/music degree, but it is tough. What we didn’t know going in was that if you take a second major outside of Thornton, like in Dornsife for math, the student has to fulfill the requirements of that school. So my son has to take a language for one year on top of all the math requirements to get his math major. He sat down with an academic advisor and he would have to do 20 units each semester plus summer school to pack it all into 4 years and she mentioned that she knew of only one other Thornton kid getting their BM who did that in the last few years. So, my DS isn’t sure what he is going to do as far as his math major. Other than that he is very happy – lots of playing, learning new things, and he likes most everyone lol! GOOD LUCK this weekend!
