double major:

Computer Science, with a concentration in Software Engineering
Mathematics

For a while I took a lot of Mass Communications classes because I was a radio DJ, but then I quit that job and regained a sane outlook on my future.

Edit: spelling

I have a 1995 Bachelor of Science in "Information Technology: Data Communications and Networking" from the Pennsylvania College of Technology (part of the Pennsylvania State University system). I was there initially for Computer Science, but then this was rolled-out during my tenure there.

It was a brand-new degree developed jointly with Rochester Institute of Technology, first (if not practically) in the Nation. Thankfully for me, it was a hot ticket to a job straight out of College!

majored in applied mathematics and was one class away from a concentration in economics (just didnt feel like finishing it). in the end the concentration really didnt matter. my resume lists the relevant classes anyways so i was fine.
