BSBA in Finance and BS in Chemical Engineering Double Major?

College Majors

<p>What do you all think about this?</p>

<p>My thought process was that with my finance major I could attempt to become an investment banker, but with that being such a stressful environment and so hard to get into, my chemical engineering major could help me become a quant if I needed to fall back on something (and it's still an amazing job). Also, if I were to do well in my classes, it would make me stand out when trying to get into investment banking because my grades in two difficult majors would show that I could perform well in a stressful and demanding work environment, which is the same type of environment as investment banking.</p>

<p>Also, because I still don't know if I want to go into finance or chemical engineering (I also love math, chemistry, engineering, and Econ, and chemical engineering covers all of that!) obviously majoring in chemical engineering as well would allow me to keep my options open.</p>

<p>What do you all think?</p>

<p>Have you actually looked at whether this is even possible at your chosen institution? The Chem Eng program at my school is 116 credits; a second major is simply not possible.</p>

<p>I know very little about a career in Investment Banking. There is definitely a business side to Chemical Engineering, though. Industrial Engineering might be a good in-between. Have you posted this question on other forums?</p>

<p>Good point, I thought of the same thing. But yes, because of my AP’s a double major will be possible. I’ll probably use some summers to make it easier.</p>

<p>What’s the business side to chemical engineering? I know there’s some Econ involved, but would finance help with anything? And no, this is the only forum I posted it on. Do you recommend that I post it somewhere else as well?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
