<p>Like in EECS and Psychology?</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can, yes. I’ve heard of people who double major in Business and Econ, and that’s Haas School and L&S, respectively. I also know, for example, that the CNR has some paperwork for people who aren’t <em>in</em> it but who want to major in something within it, thus allowing them to double major in both L&S and CNR</p>
<p>(Although, I don’t think this means you’re “accepted” into both schools. Does anyone have infomation on this? Because I know, for example, that filling out that CNR paperwork is different from actually transferring into that college?).</p>
<p>Yes, it is called a simultaneous degree.</p>
<p>It’s not too uncommon. And you will be “in” both schools (one of them will be your ‘home’ college but as far as I know there’s no difference). Your adviser code will be split between both colleges, you need to keep to both unit limits, etc.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that simultaneous degrees are tougher than simply a double major because you have to fulfill the breadth requirements of both schools and that only a certain number of classes can count towards both degrees.</p>
<p>yup, plenty of students pursue simultaneous degrees</p>
<p>Would you end up with a BS or a BA, if you did a simultaneous degree in EECS and Psychology?</p>
<p>If the two colleges grant different types, e.g. one grants BS for a particular major and the other grants BA for the second major, then you would have simultaneously received a BA and a BS when you graduate.</p>
<p>You can only do simultaneous degrees in two different colleges, and you will receive two degrees instead of a double-major on one degree.</p>
<p>basically: you’d get a BA in psychology and a BS in EECS.</p>
<p>As for how the GPAs are calculated… I don’t know if they’re separate. I’d love to know that, though.</p>
<p>^your gpa is calculated with all classes taken for a letter grade.
then you have “major” gpas which are calculated based on your core classes for the major and other requirements for the degree.
these “informal” gpas are used more by the college/school/department to determine honors at graduation. – sometimes contingent on your cumulative gpa being above a certain threshold.</p>
