<p>Can you study Computer Science without being in the schoolf of Engineering? I want to double major in Computer Science and Economics, but I'm not sure if this is possible.</p>
<p>I think it will be extremely difficult to do if you are enrolled in Arts and Science as your home school, but relatively easier if you are in engineering as your home school. That being said, majoring outside your home school is NOT easy by any means; it will require extensive planning to make sure you satisfy your school’s core requirements, as well as the requirements of both majors. Summer classes may be needed.</p>
<p>If you switch to the school of engineering it’s not difficult to do both.</p>
<p>If you remain in A&S you have to fit in all the AXLE requirements on top of CS and Econ requirements which makes it very difficult.</p>
<p>Alternatively you could minor in CS while remaining in A&S.</p>
<p>Btw switching school is VERY easy.</p>
<p>I am definitely sure this is possible, esp. if you switch into engineering. I know a few kids that are doing this. It may require a semester or two of 18 hours, or even summer courses, but it can certainly be done. </p>
<p>Another option which has become very popular for students who want to major in a lot of things but don’t have the time, is to create an interdisciplinary major. It requires about 48 hours worth of credits, and at least classes in two departments. You could always try to find a creative way to combine computer science and econ/business courses to make a unique major just for self given your circumstances.</p>
<p>Hey man, I made this account just to answer this question because people are making it seem a lot harder than it actually is. I’m currently majoring in math & cs while being in the school of A&S and it’s really not that difficult. All you have to do is make sure you take care of AXLE and your required major material and then complete 40 hours of CS courses (which is a lot, but can be done if you take 18hours a couple semesters). </p>
<p>The 40 hours must be distributed across the CS core, but since CS is such a hot field right now it might start to get more difficult for people outside the school of engineering to take more courses. Also keep in mind that the introductory CS teachers are going to be tough (excluding CS101) because they want to weed out the kids who are just going for the money and aren’t smart enough for CS in general. The teachers definitely have already noticed a significant influx of students and I don’t see this changing anytime soon because its such a good field to be in right now.</p>
