<p>Hey guys
im having a little trouble deciding between these three schools. I want to do a double major between engineering and business, and I know that Cal is rated incredibly high in both undergrad majors. I applied for the Jerome Fisher program at Penn, but did not get in, so I am only into Engineering. I was wondering if Berkeley's undergrad engineering and business combo are better than UPenn's, or if it is too difficult to transfer into the Fisher program once at Penn (or pick up a major at Wharton for that matter). Also, is it true that you cannot double major at Columbia?</p>

<li>Does Columbia allow students to double (or triple) major?</li>

<p>Yes, students are allowed to take on more than one major. However, there is positively no expectation to do so. Doing so may require additional coursework and may not be possible in four years. The purpose of the major (or concentration) requirement is to give each student the experience of doing sustained and advanced work, including individual research, in a field of special interest. A major consists of intensive study in one department involving the satisfaction of a variety of requirements; a concentration demands fewer departmental course points or requirements than a major. Please note: Columbia College students must complete either a major or a concentration, but they are not required to complete a major. Engineering students must complete a major.</p>
<p>For the majors you want, I'd say Berkeley. Berkeley's engineering and business are top ranked. </p>
<p>You really should decide if you want to work in engineering or business though. Engineering is harder than most people imagine going in as a freshman so it may be hard to cover all your bases for two colleges (haas and college of engineering). I.e. maybe just major in engineering and rock it. You can still get a job in business as an engineer, but not vice versa. </p>
<p>In my opinion Columbia's name carries better than the others although for engineering it's relatively weak.</p>
