<p>Only you know if she can handle that pressure to double major. I have a double undergrad and grad, but the difference was they are in the same cores. MBA and HR, is not like and MBA and IT, since they do not share many pre reqs. I would think that is true for finance and engineering. Our DS is double majoring, Govt and Politics and Military History (he is full ride AFROTC so it is tied to his future job), but both of those have the same core courses, thus, he only has to take extra courses for the 2nd major, which some also can be used as electives in his first major. Either way he carries 20 + credits a semester and since he is a “scholars” student he is required to also do internships, that take up time since he must commute to Capital Hill.</p>
<p>You need to look at the course curriculum and decide if it is doable.</p>
<p>I would think a minor in finance with a major in computer engineering would be fine, unless her goal is to go into finance, than not so much. What is her goal for her career? Even with an MIT degree, high end companies that would hire her will still bring her in at entry level, unless she parlays that internship for the next 4 yrs. She is not going to enter mid management for the big boy companies like Lockheed. They look for a lot more than just the diploma, most of that comes from internally within the company. She will move up the ladder faster with that MIT degree, but the degree will only take you so far, her interpersonal skills will be the force behind the promotions.</p>
