Dual Majors

Computer science majors can get a dual major with any of the other majors available on the Rensselaer campus. In many cases students can get a dual major within the 128 credits of a single major since many courses can be counted twice. A dual major with engineering requires additional credits beyond 128. To add a dual major, complete the Undergraduate Change of Major/Change of Status form.

To fulfill the requirements for a dual major, simply fulfill all the requirements for each major. A course which meets requirements for both majors may be applied to both.

If your other major is in Management, Architecture, or HASS, we will accept MATH-1500 in place of MATH-1010. However, we recommend that you take MATH-1010 rather than MATH-1500 because MATH-1010 provides the best preparation for CSCI courses.

If your other major is Computer Systems Engineering or Electrical Engineering, CSCI-2500 Computer Organization may be replaced by ECSE-2610 Computer Components and Operations and ECSE-2660 Computer Architecture, Networks, and Operating Systems.

If you have questions about requirements, you should contact:

Your CSCI advisor for questions about CSCI requirements. If you aren't sure who your CSCI advisor is, contact Terry Hayden.
Your advisor in your other major for questions about the requirements of that major.
Elizabeth Large (Sage 5208, x2576) for questions about HASS core requirements.
