Odd Couples
Weinberg magazine invited a handful of students with seemingly incongruous double majors to make the connection between their two fields. Here’s what they had to say:
Diana Chang ’16
Art Theory and Practice & Biological Sciences
“Artists and scientists are intensely curious about the human experience: one meta-physically, one physically. But it’s the same creativity answering their curiosities.”
Connor Martin ’16
Economics & Classics
“I’m always asked how a classics major intersects with economics. One major is totally useless for a career in banking —and the other is classics.”
Matthew Ferro ’16
Statistics & Philosophy
“Philosophy and statistics are more connected than one might think. I’ve learned how to ask questions and then how to answer them.”
Brian Liu ’17
Mathematics & Art Theory and Practice
“Every time a math problem requires drawing a graph, it’s my chance to shine. I might not be correct, but it will look pretty.”
Kelly Chen ’18
Philosophy& Economics
“I need something to grasp how and where the world is progressing, and I also need something to figure out how and where my mind and my self are progressing.”
