Help me - Undergrad at a target

Hi! I'm an undergraduate at a target about to declare major/minor

My candidates are Econ, Math, Computer Science, and History

Well I guess majoring in econ and math is the most relevant to my goal of

eventually making into IB, but I am very passionate about comp sci as well as history

to give them up. Would it be okay to not declare econ and double major in

math/comp sci with minor in history?

We do have a prestigious certificate in finance.

So.. What should I choose?

op1. econ/math major comp sci minor+certificate op2. econ/math major history minor+certificate op3. math/compsci (or history) major history (or comp sci) minor +certificate op4. other

Thanks!

Why don't you want to major/minor in finance?

Because we don't have undergraduate finance major. We only have certificate which require two or three classes to attain Any more suggestion?

 

Opt 3 seems the most reasonable. Most comp sci programs are so math heavy that it's probably not too hard to get that double major, you're usually just a couple classes away from it when you're done with the CS reqs. So that would leave you more time for the minor you want in terms of being able to study for everything

 

I tried minoring in CS. The amount of time it takes (plus the amount of classes my school required for the minor) made it seem almost like a major and not really worth my time, so I quit after getting to upper division classes. Not sure how much time it would take at your school. Maybe I just sucked at CS.

 

Econ/Math FTW.
