Aerospace and Physics Double/Dual Major

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on pursuing a double major in Aerospace Engineering (ASE) and Theoretical Physics at Mississippi State University (MSU). The participant has 33 dual enrollment hours and aims to join the Navy after college. Concerns are raised about the feasibility of balancing both majors, particularly the time commitment required for Theoretical Physics, which may detract from Aerospace Engineering studies. The participant is also considering a focus on applied research in the field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Aerospace Engineering fundamentals
  • Theoretical Physics concepts
  • Time management skills for balancing dual majors
  • Understanding of dual enrollment programs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the curriculum requirements for Aerospace Engineering at Mississippi State University
  • Explore the implications of dual majoring in Aerospace Engineering and Theoretical Physics
  • Investigate career paths in applied research within the aerospace sector
  • Learn about Navy officer training programs and their educational requirements
USEFUL FOR

Students considering a double major in Aerospace Engineering and Physics, academic advisors, and individuals interested in military careers in aviation.

So, I am getting close to college (going to Mississippi State), and I know I want to do ASE and Physics (pref. Theoretical). MSU doesn't offer Engineering Physics or I would do that, but on the bright side I worked my ass offin high school, and I am transferring with 33 dual enrollment hours. My intention is to go fly in the Navy, but before that I am interested in either the research or applied side. Comments on feasibility?

If your real interest is Aero engineering, I think that theoretical physics may have you spending a lot of time and effort on other subjects.
 
I am heavily interested in both, and I am going Astro, but I haven't declared it yet. Also, I would probably not do any theoretical until Grad School and maybe not then.
