<p>How hard would it be to double major in the two?</p>
<p>I've always loved chem engineering, but then again I've always been the guy following elections, policies, and have even betted on an election or two (thank you Indiana!).</p>
<p>Would I die under all the work? Anyone ever double majored in a similar situation?</p>
<p>It would probably be a lot of work, kind of like taking maybe 6-7 APs?</p>
<p>But if you trulylove Chem E and PolSci, you shouldn’t mind all the work.</p>
<p>course 10 is one of those majors with a lot of requirements.</p>
<p>You may have to exceed the usual 4 undergraduate years in college to complete the two majors since there are little to no overlaps between courses.</p>
<p>A good deal of course 17 classes are HASS classes, though, meaning you can take advantage of the overlap there. If you do both courses, though, don’t expect to have much time to check out other classes.</p>
<p>I really suggest thinking about why you want to double major. You can certainly like things without majoring in them.</p>
<p>Would it be just as good to major in chem E and minor in poli sci? I heard through the humanities requirements at MIT that you basically can get your minor that way.</p>
<p>^ Just as good for what? I’m still not sure what your reason for double-majoring in those two fields is.</p>
<p>Your humanities requirement is 8 classes, and most HASS minors are 6 classes. If you plan your distribution classes correctly, yes, you can get a minor in something as long as you don’t want to take classes in lots of other HASS topics.</p>
<p>Ok. The reason why is that I want to somehow combine the two fields, maybe eventually working at a scientific government body, like the NSA or something.</p>
<p>It depends on the requirements of ChemE, but I have a friend double majoring in Course 6 (computer science) and PoliSci, and minoring in German, so it is certainly possible. She doesn’t have much time for other things, but you could do it if you wanted to.</p>
