How to manage a double major at Cal?

I'm a high school senior who was recently accepted to Berkeley. My goal is to graduate with two degrees in four years: a B.S. in Atmospheric Sciences, and a B.S. (B.A. if possible) in Physics. Can anyone who has double majored at Berkeley give tips on managing coursework?

Make sure that you meet with advisors from both departments early on in order to create a feasible plan to take the required courses for each major. Some of the classes should overlap but it is important to verify this with advisors.

Andrew’s Answer

Atmospheric science is primarily based on physics and, to a lesser extent, chemistry. Hence, a strong physics background is necessary for the area.

Hence, it is feasible to pursue a double major in physics and atmospheric science. It should be appreciated that the course load would be challenging. The only advice I can give is to stay focused and work hard.
