BME/Econ?

<p>Ok, I was admitted ED to Pratt, and I would really like to double major in BME and Econ, a task I expect to be rather daunting. I'd like to know just how possible it really is, though, if anyone can provide some insight.</p>

<p>Going in, I will have AP credit in AP Calc AB & BC, AP Physics C (Mechanics), possibly AP Macroecon (if I take the exam, which I probably will), possibly AP English Lit (if I can pass the exam-I've heard it is quite hard), and AP Psych.</p>

<p>I'd just like to know if this if possible with as close to a normal courseload as possible and the standard 8 semesters. Also, if someone could give a little more insight on what is actually required of a Pratt student double majoring in something in Trinity, that would be helpful (like, for example, do I need anything other than a bunch of Econ courses for an Econ major).</p>

<p>To anyone who can help, thanks!</p>

<p>Macro does nothing for you, unless you get a 5 on macro AND micro
BC will help, so jump into 103 and thats a prereq for any econ youll need for major
so you got BME and 10 econ classes youll have to take.
maybe a stats but i dont know if the stats for egr will be same as for econ</p>

<p>many people do an egr and econ so dont worry tooo much
but just be ready for work</p>

<p>Here's the website for econ major requirements, they differ based on whether you want a BS or AB in econ:</p>

<p>Duke</a> Economics - Undergaduate Program - Major & Minor Requirements</p>

<p>And here's the current BME handbook containing the requirements for a BSE in BME:</p>

<p>Curriculum</a> - Undergraduate Program - Duke BME</p>

<p>Since BME will be your primary major by necessity, I'm assuming that double BME/Econ would not require you to fulfill any of the trinity T-reqs. In that case, you would only need to fulfill Pratt's graduation requirements and the requirements for your two majors. You can talk to Dean Connie Simmons for more information.</p>

<p>double major in BME/Econ at pratt is, I think, the most common double major and is pretty popular. You should be fine. I would recommend try to place out of as many of the weeder classes as possible...those being the freshman econ and math classes.</p>
