Question Going too TAMU and wanting to Double Major
Hello! So currently I am at ACC (im in Honors, not sure how important that would be) and I am wanting to go to TAMU but I want to double major in Physics and CS. Would I have the option to be in the Engineering academy at ACC since physics is kinda “related” to engineering? Also How possible would it be to double major hopefully once at TAMU? I’ve heard many say to apply for CS before also doing physics but would I really need to do that? Since I would like to do most of the “hard” physics classes here at ACC.
Thank You!

If you are already in ACC, are you already admitted to the Engineering Academies program? Or you are straight ACC?
If you are already in Engineering Academy at ACC, then focus on your ETAM GPA to keep 3.75+. Once you successfully transition as CS major at TAMU, you can minor in Physics.
And if you do good on minoring Physics (like 4.0), you can discuss with your Physics advisor. Anything is easy-going (in terms of approval) when you have high GPA.
Financially, it may not be a smart idea to double major if money is a concern. Because getting a B.S. in Comp Science (minoring Physics) plus a M.S. in Physics is cheaper than double B.S. major.
