<p>I want to study Nuclear Engineering. Somebody told me that I can double major in Nuclear Engineering and Mechanical Engineering with adding only 20 extra hours. Also, can I double major in Nuclear Engineering and Aerospace Engineering?</p>

<p>Yes, ME and NE can be done together at PSU:
[MNE-Current</a> Students-Undergraduate-Curriculum-Section 6](<a href=“http://www.me.psu.edu/Current/Ugrad/Curriculum/Section6.html#6-7]MNE-Current”>http://www.me.psu.edu/Current/Ugrad/Curriculum/Section6.html#6-7)
[MNE-Current</a> Students-Undergraduate-Curriculum](<a href=“http://www.me.psu.edu/Current/Ugrad/Curriculum/]MNE-Current”>http://www.me.psu.edu/Current/Ugrad/Curriculum/)</p>

<p>However, the course plan shows 154 credit units over 9 or 10 semesters, for students with no advanced credit:

<p>It will depend on the school. you need to look at the undergrad catalogs at the schools that you’re interested. </p>

<p>Also, taking an extra 20 or so credits isn’t always that easy in eng’g. And if you need Financial aid, or you have a scholarship, you may not have coverage for that extra semester or so to fit in those extra 20+ credits.</p>

<p>I got accepted to Nuclear Engineering… So Can I still do it? Based on the chart it says I should have applied to Mechanical Engineering first.</p>

<p>Why don’t you ask the department directly?</p>
