Hi everyone! I am looking for advice on what courses I should take to better flush out my degree/be more versatile.
Currently, I am going into my sophomore year in Applied Mathematics. I originally wanted to change into a Math/CS degree, but it was full, so I had to settle with taking the minor. Alongside the CS minor, I am also working on a JPNS minor out of personal interest. I know minors do not mean much, so I looked at the possibility of a dual major.
My university allows you to pursue a mathematics-economics minor and gives me the option to get a B.S. in economics after I graduate (even if I am employed) through online courses. If I were to pursue a computer science dual major, which seems to be a popular choice, I would have to retake my calculus courses because there is a prerequisite for them to be taken at the university, so I was a bit turned off by that option.
Regardless, I have a lot of room left in my junior and senior semesters; what would you recommend I take? I am stuck deciding between whether to pursue additional minors, a dual major, courses in varying subjects, or something else altogether.
I do not plan on going into academia/research as I would prefer to work in the tech industry, but I am open to the business field (or anything that I can get a job in).
Please let me know what some good options for me moving forward are!-B
