<p>If you are accepted to NW Eng, are you allowed to double major at Weinberg (Econ)...and maybe take classes at Music, Journalism, or Communication schools (for a minor or just to take classes for fun)?</p>
<p>If by NU Eng you mean english... that is in Weinberg, and you can always double major within Weinberg. MOST other classes are "open" to everyone (some have major/status/prerequisite requirements), but "open" is in quotes because a lot of the popular classes, or classes necessary for some majors, will fill up in preregistration, making it difficult to get into them if you don't have a reason to take it.</p>
<p>i think he meant engineering... i'm not sure about music or communications, but you can't minor in journalism (although you can take classes if you want)</p>
<p>Yeah. I meant NW McCormick Engineering...my bad. Should've clarified myself a bit better.</p>
<p>Would I be able to take classes just for fun? What classes would I be able to take to count for a minor? for a 2nd major?</p>
<p>Haha, that was obvious, sorry. I've found that engineers have less room in their schedules for fun electives and such, but that's just among my friends, I don't know much about the engineering curriculum (except that it's hard, and a double major might be too much work).</p>
<p>I'm just wondering whether it's possible or not. I need something to write in my Why NW essay. :D</p>
<p>Yes. In fact, engg+econ was very popular among students from Hong Kong when I was there. One of them did econ+comp engg+co-op certificate (coop 6 quarters) in 4 years. At one point, she told me she was taking 6 classes.</p>
<p>The quarter system allows you to squeeze many classes in one year. It's up to you to take on the challenge.</p>
