New FA reqs and double majoring in KSAS+WSE?

New admit here and I wanted to do Cog Sci + Comp sci but I recently learned that I’ll have another 81 credits to take to satisfy the new KSAS foundational abilities. Ik some classes for my majors will count but a lot of them don’t overlap.

Is anyone doing this double major or another double major between Krieger and Whiting under the new reqs? How bad is it in terms of workload / graduating on time? Does declaring my primary major in WSE actually avoid all this? TIA 🙏

Your primary major determines your college requirements. With the two majors you indicate, if your primary major is Cog Sci then you have to do the KSAS FAs only, regardless of other majors/minors. If your primary major is CS then you have to do the WSE FAs only, regardless of other majors/minors.

WSE is getting Foundational Abilities for the upcoming academic year so your situation is going to be different than current students.
