Most cadets that dual major have to place out of a lot of the offered 4/c year courses (Calc I Calc II, physics) in order to free up their schedule for major specific classes. Dual-majoring is difficult but can be done most that I've seen will do Electrical Engineering and Operations Research because a lot of the classes are the same. Usually there are 2-3 per class that will do it. This was in 2016 though and the catalog of required courses probably has changed.
You sure can double major!! My DS was.. yes was double major in EE n Operations research ( lots of Math). His 3rd semester, he had 25 credits .. had 3hrs if sleep for one semester and on Fridays he had an option to eat dinner or take a nap.. he took a nap if he can. I told him not to declare both but work on completing both of course he didn’t listen. I talk him to drop OR every Friday, that’s when he calls me. He did drop it this semester and told me, “mom, I really wish I listen to you in the beginning, thank you”. Now he is getting 7hrs of sleep n can take 2 naps a week. Still taking 17 or 19 credits but the lowest me ever taken. Remember you have military obligations, has sport, dance/formal, parade, room n uniform inspection, community service n others on top of studying!!!What are the options for dual majors at the USCGA?
Seems like a waste to get a OP Research and EE degree dual major. An EE degree will get you into OP Research post graduate program.
I would think a great dual major would be Government/Foreign Language, but I don't think there is a foreign language major at the CGA.
Govt majors, when I was there, had two tracks. The international relations track required Spanish classes. I was a public policy track so no Spanish for me.
