AI Thread Summary
Double majoring in physics secondary education and math secondary education while attending graduate school is generally considered infeasible within a four-year timeframe. The demands of both majors, along with the requirements for graduate school, make it challenging to complete both simultaneously. Alternatively, majoring in math education and minoring in physics is a viable option, allowing for the possibility of attending math graduate school afterward.

Hello all, I have 2 questions:

Can you double major is physics secondary ed and math secondary ed and go to grad school? Is it feasible to expect to do both 4 years?

If you major in just math ed and minor in physics, can you go to math grad school?

Thanks in advance

Double major and grad school at the same time, no, not feasible.
