Does Caltech allow double majors?
Can I double-major? Students can double major if they satisfy the unit and courses requirements of both options. See the descriptions of each major for the detailed policies.
Can I double major in computer science and economics?
A new joint degree in Computer Science and Economics will allow undergraduates to focus on both disciplines, which are increasingly connected in today’s digital age. All current undergraduates, including those in the class of 2020, will be eligible to graduate with the 14-credit major.
Can you double major in computer science and biology?
Yes. Taking a double major means having to take many required courses, even though some may apply to both programs.
Does Caltech accept second bachelor’s?
After two years in residence at Caltech, and the successful completion of our requirements, 3/2 students will be granted a Bachelor of Science degree from Caltech and a second bachelor’s degree from their liberal arts college. Students may transfer into any of the Caltech options.
Is Caltech better than MIT?
MIT scores better than Caltech across three of the four indicators in the USA rankings: research, diversity and internationalisation, and employability. However, Caltech outperforms MIT in learning experience, claiming the title of the best school in the USA for learning experience.
Computational biology, which is also known as bioinformatics, is the combined application of math, statistics and computer science to solve biology-based problems. Computational biology leverages quantitative tools such as machine learning, statistical physics, algorithm design and frequency statistics.
Why minor in Computer Science at Caltech?
The computer science minor is intended to supplement one of Caltech’s undergraduate degrees and is designed for students who wish to broaden their knowledge beyond their normal major or who may wish to pursue a graduate program involving computer science.
Is it possible to double major in college?
Yes you can double major in most pairs of disciplines, assuming you can fit the requirements into your schedule. A second alternative is to complete a single major and many of the requirements of the second major. This leaves open the possibility of going to graduate school in the second major.
