Accounting and Engineering

<p>How difficult would it be to double major in accounting and electrical
engineering?</p>

<p>I don't see why you would want to but good luck, you are taking the hardest engineering and doubling it with the hardest business degree.</p>

<p>accounting is not something that needs to be studied. Its all common sense actually.</p>

<p>is accounting really the hardest business major?</p>

<p>Yep. I don't know what you'd do with that combo though..</p>

<p>so what about EE+finance?</p>

<p>Business undergrad majors are a waste of time. They are 100% common sense. </p>

<p>Get your engineering degree then get a MBA, you will be golden.</p>

<p>as for finance, another waste of time. I have made 6k on the dow in the past week with a invested 4K, it doesn't take a finance major or a guius to make money on wall street, it takes common sense. 100% common sense.</p>

<p>Ish when i first started my CSE curriculum I sucked at math and it was eating at me, I didnt know what to do, so I wanted to switch to finance or MIS. My advisor's and every professor I talked to said. Stop its a waste of time and you should just get a MBA. I think they were right.</p>

<p>oh really
thnx for the info</p>

<p>oh wow dam looks like im in similar shoes
i plan on attending college soon to major in electrical or computer engineering
but my math skills aren't the best but im a fast learner though</p>

<p>How about minoring in economics?</p>

<p>Yes, you can minor in something related to economics... that would probably interest you, as it has business applications and deals with money, and it is certainly not common-sense stuff, like some of business can be.</p>

<p>And, depending on where you're going, there might be a computational finance undergrad major/minor, which would incorporate a bit of business with even more solid quantitative skills, to complement your engineering education.</p>

<p>remember computational finance is the new financial engineering.</p>

<p>...which might suit ish, no?</p>

<p>Doubling in accounting and EE would be difficult. There are basically no overlapping courses between the two. In both majors, you have a very strict track of courses. With accounting especially, there are courses that are only offered once a year. And what if that course is scheduled at the same time as one of your core engineering courses? You can imagine that scheduling game that would be required to complete both degrees. Unless you want to spend 6 years as an undergraduate, I don't think it's worth it. If you want to know some accounting for your own purposes, take the intro courses to the major (financial and managerial accounting) and I think that would be sufficient enough.</p>

<p>If you really want to have something related to business in addition to your engineering degree, just do a business minor or if your school has some kind specialized business minor for engineering, that would also be an option (for example, UF has a sales engineering minor that's designed for engineering majors).</p>
