<p>I can speak a bit about CMU which I agree would be a good choice.</p>

<p>Although it's very difficult to actually transfer into Tepper I don't believe you actually have to do that to double major. You start, for instance, in engineering and get business as a second degree. My S picked up CS as a second degree at CMU. CS is impossible to actually transfer into but you don't have to, take the prereqs and he had no problem, the advisors were great so I doubt you would have a problem with business, best to check though or ask on CMU forum.</p>

<p>IS (information systems, also sometimes referred to as M[management]IS) is a degree combining elements of CS and business you might want to check out.</p>

<p>Lehigh has a program IBE I think it's called, integrated business and engineering.</p>

<p>Case also seems to be one to consider.</p>

<p>That another gd thing about Case, you're accepted to all majors when they accept you to the school (except music). But many people drop out engineering and opt for business because it is a very grueling program. Kiplingers magazine rated it the school with the 2nd hardest workload after MIT.</p>

<p>Case has this five year business engineering program called "TiME":

<p>If you want to major in engineering @ Case the most you could do as far as business would be take electives or get a minor in business (a.k.a. management), finance or economics (or do "TiME"). Double majoring in engineering and either management, finance or econ would be a very tight schedule in 4 years, hence the appeal of the "TiME" program. You could also do the opposite Major in Management or Econ and then minor in engineering.</p>

<p>Something to consider, if CMU doesn't float your boat</p>

<p>Are you at Case 311Griff?</p>

<p>Isnt that at the graduate level?</p>

25

<p>unc doesnt have an engineering school or any engineering program. it only offers a degree in applied science.</p>

26

<p>I am not at Case, but i've heard good things about it... and I've also heard its engineering program is rough.</p>

27

<p>Va Tech has great engineering, pretty decent b school.</p>

<p>I am an international student taking A levels this november. I wanted to know it is worth it to apply duke for ed since i plan to do electrical engineering and computer engineering?????????</p>

<p>Carnegie Mellon's double majoring is very easy and it is actually not as hard transferring into non-SCS as people think. SCS is pretty hard as you have to ace one course (211 I think) which is known to be a ball-buster. I've known plenty of kids that have transferred between schools though (non-CFA/SCS wise).</p>
