What does a double-major degree look like?

I learned from meeting with one of my faculty advisors that you don't get two degrees when you double major, rather it'd be your primary major degree with some kind of addendum like a "concentration in <second major> (not in those exact terms but you get the point). Are there any alums here who have graduated with a double major who can tell me more about what it looks like in more detail? This came up in our meeting because I was asking about choosing between CS B.A. and B.S., to which my advisor said the final degree doesn't make that distinction as it'd be counted as my second major.

Spring Cellular and Molecular Foundations jhu

as a BME student, I have to take this class called Cellular and Molecular Foundations, and I can't find anything online about what this class is exactly about, is it bio foundation, and what it is taught as in general if I wanted to start it now on YouTube or an online course. I kinda want to prep for it if it will be hard because I have other classes that I need to focus on!

thank you

Is Sibley Surgery Center a member of Johns Hopkins?

I'm not sure where to ask this, but I thought if I can ask a questions related to Johns Hopkins, please help me here.

I know Sibley Memorial Hospital in NW Washington DC is a member of Johns Hopkins. Sibley Memorial Hospital has a surgery center in its building. The hospital employees and Hopkins medicine online my chart calls their surgery center as "Sibley Surgery Center" at 5215 Loughboro Road NW Basement Washington DC 20016-2618.

If I Google "Sibley Surgery Center", Google says "Johns Hopkins Surgery at Sibley" 5215 Loughboro Road NW Suite 150 Washington DC 20016.

Is "Sibley Surgery Center" in NW Washington DC a member of Johns Hopkins? Many thanks for any info you can share.

pass fail a non-required class?

I took a political science course this semester with a professor known to be a tough grader, and I might end up with a B-. Since this class isn’t a major requirement or related to my molecular and cellular biology major, I’m considering taking it as S/U. Would that affect my chances for grad school admissions?

JHU info Sci/systems

Does JHU have an Info Sci or Info System undergrad major?

If yes, what is it like? Is it coding heavy? Business heavy? Design heavy? I’d like to get into UI/UX so I’m wondering if this would be a good major.

Should I pay for graduate school?

Hey guys I just got admitted into Jhu and have been wondering would the mechanical engineering graduate school would be worth it? Would I need to take loans and pay for the college is it that good? I am just worried cause I am international student and I did not expect to get in and did get in soo have been confused if going there and paying for college would be good.

And does anyone know when can I switch to phd? Can I do it after one semester, change the program?

Thank you for the help!

Calc 3 or LADE

Engineering freshman currently taking calc 2. My advisor kind of suggested I take LADE first and then calc 3 next fall (or take it over the summer) but calc 3 is more of the standard route. Calc 3 would be with Murilo Corato Zanarella and LADE would be with Mario Micheli or Aseel Titi. Any recommendations appreciated, thank you!

Hilary Bok Philosophy Upper Levels Grading

I was planning on taking Bok's upper level (bioethics?) seminar on Philosophy and Disability, and I was wondering how hard of a grader she is, and generally how hard her upper levels are. I had her for Intro to Bioethics so I'm familiar with how she teaches, but assignments were graded by the TAs, and there's no TAs for this upper level.

Thoughts on the Graduate Online Engineering Classes?

I'm looking into taking some of the online masters mechanical engineering courses. I'm not actually planning to sign up for an actual program at this point, I just thought I might take one or two classes (if I can get work to pay for it). Has anyone done anything similar? If you've taken any of the classes, would you say you got alot out of them?

I'm debating going for a PHD in the future, so part of this would just to be to keep my brain working in school mode.

Easy Upper Level CS classes?

Any recommendations for the upper level cs courses this spring that are a good balance between rewarding and not too much stress? Considering explainable AI and human centered interactions. I've heard AI is easy but not rewarding. Also thinking about medical device cybersecurity and randomized data algorithms. The problem is all of those sound hard. But they sound cool. Has anyone taken these and knows if they're worth it?Thanks!
