one major three minors could this be done?

Question

could this be done in at least 4 years

Answer 1

This depends on what the major and minors are, as well as what you come into college with Usually, a minor requires a minimum of six courses, sometimes more, and you have to fit it into the places your major allows for electives, which can range from one or two to five or six, depending on the major.

Some students come into college with so many AP and college courses, that they are essentially almost enough credits to be considered juniors when they start, and in these cases, double majors and/or multiple minors can be completed in four years I find that is often true of our Honors students On the other hand, if you start from 0, perhaps needing remedial English or math classes, it can be difficult to fit in even one minor, especially if your major is something like Engineering or Accounting, which leave little space for electives.

Answer 2

This really depends on the number of credit hours it would take to complete the major and the minors. Then you have to take into consideration the maximum credit hours allowed for each semester. My school caps the maximum credit hour per semester at 18 creds. But if you want to take more, you can fill out an overload release form. Just be aware that taking more than 15 creds a semester calls for some serious time management.

I have been taking 17 creds a semester for quite some time as I am a double major. It is a lot of work particularly towards the middle and end of the semester when test and papers for most of the classes are assigned or take place. It's doable, however, as long as you don't mind sacrificing a lot of your free time and don't get sick. In addition, you will be looking at spending at least part of your summer attending classes.

The important thing is to stay on top of everything; do all your readings, etc, when they are assigned, attend all class meetings, and take good notes. Avoid procrastination as much as possible, since trying to cram in 12 chapters for a test that takes place the next day is not only impossible but highly unpleasant.

However, this is not to discourage you. Just to give you an idea of what you will face. If you really think you can handle one major and 3 minors then go for it. Just keep at it!

There was an article recently about a guy who graduated in 5 years with 5 majors and 5 minors. He said that it took a lot of time management, multitasking, and losing quite a bit of sleep. But in the end he got 5 degrees.

Good Luck

Answer 3

It depends how related they are. If you can take around 18 units a semester and summer classes, then it might be possible.

A lot people don't realize that most people get a BS/BA in more like 5 years, even under a full time loads because 15 units is alot for some.

I only did that once, because I am not really that bright in math and I was working on my B.S. math, so my loads were 12-13 units.

Answer 4

I highly doubt it! That would be a LOT of work, but it depends on how related the programs are and their specific requirements. Look at how many credits you need for each program. If you don't have to work while going to school, and you're a good student you should realistically be able to take 15 credits per semester. Add up the number of credits you need to complete, divide that by 15 and you'll know how many semesters you can complete it in.
