Programs Oppurtunities with double major EE and MS in Math?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a combined BS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Math, and an MS in Math offers strong career opportunities, particularly for those interested in astrophysics and understanding the universe's workings. A solid mathematical foundation is beneficial for a career in physics, and considering a combined MS in physics instead of math could align better with aspirations in astrophysics. This educational path is seen as worthwhile for those committed to serious study in physics.

I'm currently a sophomore at college and I have a very high gpa. My school offers a program where I can work on BS in EE, Math, and MS in Math in just a few years.

What I'm wondering is if there are a lot of career opportunities for choosing this path. I am completely interested in finding out how the universe works physically and mathematically. I also have an interest in astrophysics and i feel that this path would eventually bring me to opportunities to study the universe, especially once I go to grad school.

In other words, is this worth the trouble?

Perhaps you should do a physics PhD.

If you would like to do physics in a serious way, it doesn't hurt to know a bunch of math, but you might consider doing a combined MS in physics instead of in math.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
