<p>Is it ever possible to double major in Chemistry (B.S.) and Chemical Engineering (B.S.) in the College of Chemistry? Can someone let me know if they have ever tried or heard about any of this? Thanks. </p>
<p>By the way, is there really a unit cap for undergraduates? I heard that students in L&S having a 120 unit cap. What if they have a simultaneous degree program? I heard that those students are allowed only 136 units after the seventh semester. Is this true?</p>
<p>That would seem very difficult.</p>
<p>you can take up to 136 units through your 9th semester, or something like that if you have a double major. as for majoring in chem adn chem E, it's probably possible, but it'd be insane. I suppose if you're a freshman you can ask maura daly (the freshman college of chem advisor) or one of the other college of chem people. they're in 420 Latimer.</p>
<p>Just letting you know the hardest major at Berkeley is: Chemical Engineering (it's not EEKs because ChemE majors need 8 more units to graduate then EEks)</p>
<p>So to double major in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering would be quite a task.</p>
<p>But MCB is the most cutthroat/competitive.</p>
<p>snafuworks, I don't think it's fair to evaluate the difficulty of a major simply based on how many units is needed to graduate. But I have heard that ChemE and EECS basically tie for the hardest major on campus.</p>
<p>I really don't see the point of double-majoring in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering...why would you? You could probably major in Chemical engineering and take many chemistry classes anyway. If you want to study two different areas you have a lot of interest in, that's fine. But this seems to be overkill...</p>
<p>ChemE has lots of overlap with pure chem. In fact, you can take any chem classes you want as a ChemE major.</p>
<p>I have a feeling that BioE may be the hardest major, not only do you have to take courses from many different fields (MCB upper division courses, biochem, chem physics AND electrical engineering lower div) and lot of hard upper division specialty classes.</p>
<p>How would you rank difficulty of majors in engineering. I'd say...</p>
<p>Chem E
EECS
Mech
BioE
Civil
IEOR</p>
<p>Not sure about others like Nuclear, Engineering Physics. Just a thought, I have no evidence to back this up.</p>
