[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A large number of Swarthmore graduates double major (if I remember right it is around 40%). Humanities and Social Sciences are well represented along with STEM. I don't have experience with the other colleges, but I am impressed with how my kid has grown at Swarthmore, particularly with respect to critical thinking. [/quote]
A lot of double majors are stem double majors. It’s really rare that it is difficult to double major at a liberal arts college, and, if that were a real concern, a student would choose Amherst.[/quote]

It's not a real concern, but you'd have to plan carefully with respect to distribution requirements. This might mean taking a few classes you're not that excited about in an effort to meet all requirements. Amherst just prohibited triple majoring, because too many students were using that as an opportunity to stack pre-professional credentials rather than explore the open curriculum in the way intended. Even the SLACs are dominated by pre-professional approaches these days. A shame.[/quote]
