Business and Arts & Sciences?

<p>How easy is it for a student enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences to take classes in the College of Business? Is cross enrollment difficult/common? What about double majors between the two schools?</p>

<p>Short answer: In terms of being permitted to cross-enroll, it’s not a problem and doesn’t seem that hard. The main thing that’s problematic is time, but I do know a few double majors with A&S+business or Science+Business (or cross-enrollment between other schools like A&S+Science). Or, a lot of programs have minors, and the business school has a new entrepreneurship minor if that’s of interest. It’s workable, you just have to plan carefully. It also definitely depends on the major.</p>

<p>More detailed answer:
Here’s the link to requirements for the business majors. You’ll see there can be a big difference between total non-elective credits required in different majors. If a student takes a normal course load for four years without taking classes over the summer, that’s 180 credits. But many people to overload or take 18 credits as opposed to 15.:

<p>Adding an A&S major on top of that adds 20 more credits in Core alone (another history class and three quarters of foreign language). Most A&S majors are about 60 credits of major courses, some more, some fewer. And if you’re majoring in something included in the Core Curriculum (roman numeral I in the requirements), like English, Philosophy or a particular social science, some of the Core can count towards the major.</p>
