<p>Suppose one is accepted to Goizueta BBA.</p>
<p>Can one double major in:</p>
<p>Business & Economics or Business & Poli Sci?</p>
<p>It seems like Goizueta, unlike NYU's Stern or Michigan's Ross, teach Economics under its business school.</p>
<p>Pretty sure you can, but I’m not sure if you can do it in 4 years. I’m pretty sure you can also major in something at the college if you are accepted into Goizueta (like English and Business)</p>
<p>@Linnus: I understand you can’t do it in 4 years, since you can only get accepted to Goizueta in Junior year. </p>
<p>Thnaks!</p>
<p>You probably can do it in 4 years, because my RA double majored in History and Business and he’s graduating this year (his 4th year at Emory). Also, you can apply to Goizueta as a sophmore (aka when you are a freshman) if you have enough AP credits.</p>
<p>It’s possible, but difficult. You may have to take some summer school and/or come in with AP/IB credits. You should start by talking with a prebusiness advisor and current students in the bschool to get an idea about what’s involved. </p>
<p>It may be more reasonable to get a BBA and minor in poli sci or econ.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t say it is difficult if you plan ahead. I remember reading some info from the business school when I was thinking of going there as a freshman… 1/4 or 1/3 of them have a major or a minor in the College. Something like that. These new Gen Ed classes (GERs) make it really easy to get those out of the way. So you can easily finish a major before getting into the business school if you want… or get within a class or two of finishing it, depending on when you figure out your major.
I don’t know many people that take longer than 4 years to graduate. There are so many double majors it makes my head spin. If you want to do Business + whatever, you can get it done and still have a fun time. You just won’t have nearly as many random elective courses as others</p>
<p>***I would say it ISN’T difficult if you plan ahead</p>
<p>(correction to my first sentence from previous post)</p>
<p>You can definitely double major in business and something else in the college. I am actually double-majoring in business and poli sci. You can complete the double-major in four years without coming in with AP/IB credit, however, you may have to overload a semester or two and you will be pretty restricted in the courses you have to take… as in you’ll pretty much be taking ALL GERs, B-School classes, and classes for your college major. You probably won’t have time to take classes pass/fail or “just for fun.”</p>
<p>Business & Econ are my top choice, and I’m probably coming IB 7 in Econ HL. (predicted) so I guess i’ll get some credit. So with math IB 7 in HL. </p>
<p>These should make my life a little bit easier…</p>
<p>Icfireball: When did you start your major (what grade) for political science and how long has it taken you to complete it?</p>
<p>Notice how this thread is over 2 years old and icfireball hasn’t posted on CC since last July? He/she’s probably not gonna get on anytime soon…</p>
