<p>I would like to apply to AEM but i know its very hard. Can I apply to an easier major in Cornell Ag and take AEM classe?</p>
<p>You can take classes in AEM, but the enrollment in certain required AEM classes are open to AEM students first and then it's based on availability. </p>
<p>You can also declare a second undergraduate major within CALS. For example, you can double major in Communications and Business. </p>
<p>Or, you can minor in business. (Using the example above, you can major in Communications with a minor in Business). See the attached information page. </p>
<p>Sure, but if you really want AEM, I'd apply to that. If your qualified to get into Cornell, I'd apply to what you're truly interested in.</p>
<p>Of course, you can now apply to both AEM and to Arts & Sciences, or any two school combination.</p>
<p>i remember engineering ppl can't do AEM for second major.
not sure why,...</p>
<p>how much harder would it be to have the extra AEM workload (i.e. having to double major in info sci and AEM)? wouldn't it just mean sacrificing a few electives in my schedule for AEM classes?</p>
<p>
Hey - thought this might clarify this for you. You cannot have AEM as a second major as an engineering student, but you can delcare a minor. Scroll down to Business Minor for Engineers

<p>I know a few students who are doing an AEM major and an information science minor. It doesn't seem to be too bad, but you have to like programming a bit.</p>
<p>I'd suggest this route if you can. Unless you really want to double major (which I only suggest to masochists, generally) because you love both equally, minoring is a great way to take courses in an area you love without a ton of obligation.</p>
