Double Majors and Dual Degrees If you plan your time carefully you may be able to double or even triple major at Pitt. Apart from the time it takes to complete all of the required classes, the major restriction to keep in mind is that no more than eight (8!) credits of core and/or elective classes can overlap between two majors or a major and a
Double Major IS/CS here. It may be a good idea depending on what you're into. For me, it was a huge mistake. First of all, the IS department is not nearly up to par with the CS department. The advisor doesn't want you to be challenged, but simply wants you to graduate. I can honestly say that I have fully applied myself in one of the core IS You can set up a "what-if report" under the academics tab in myfsu and it should allow you to pick the history major and see what the requirements are like.

However, with a double major, you're studying two related fields to earn a single degree. This also means that you're receiving just one type of degree, such as

a) coop is not guaranteed, and it’s a somewhat competitive program to get into. However, once you get in, with the schools assistance it becomes MUCH easier to land internships. b) my school in particular has a better reputation in mathematics than in computer science, but not a lot to make a huge difference.
