Does it cost more money to double major at both mechanical engineering and finance at Duke?

<p>I GOT INTO DUKE THROUGH ED!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Title says it all.</p>

<p>By the way, I got into Pratt.</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS! I believe the answer is NO, based on many past years (I can’t imagine this changing). </p>

<p>It does not cost more money to take more classes or double major, though we don’t have a finance major.</p>

<p>Correct, does not cost any more. While there is no finance major, there is a finance minor available. Here is the information about the finance minor for non-economics majors:

<p>Thank u! Can I get a master on finance if I minor on financial ?
Yeah we bleed blue!</p>

<p>@PeterWong‌: Just this month, the Trustees approved a new Master’s in Qualitative Financial Economics degree (which will be given in the Economics Department by the Graduate School). In addition, Fuqua’s MBA program has concentrations in finance (of several types). I wouldn’t doubt, but I don’t know, that Sanford’s MPP might offer a concentration in public finance (possibly also in financial policy). Therefore, your basic answer is absolutely. What I suggest is, in a couple years, walk over to Economics, to Sanford and to Fuqua and have a brief cup of coffee while discussing options with administrators. They’ll know a LOT more than we do.</p>

<p>Again, CONGRATULATIONS! </p>

<p>(And, yes indeed, we all bleed Duke Blue!) </p>

<p>There is a limit on the number of credits you can take each term. I believe the number is 5.5 credits each term–so double major should not be an extra charge.

<p>(minor correction to post above me-- a 6.0 overload can be approved by a Dean). Having been friends with a lot of engineers this semester though, I do get the impression that an overload (considered anything above 4 courses) is more common in Trinity than in Pratt.</p>

<p>As you enter your first year at Duke, you’ll be assigned a member of the E-Team, or Pratt’s group of student advisors, who will be able to help you answer your questions (<a href=“http://www.pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/students/advising/e-team”>http://www.pratt.duke.edu/undergrad/students/advising/e-team&lt;/a&gt;). You could also start looking at degree plans (<a href=“BSE Degree Planning | Duke Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science”>http://www.mems.duke.edu/undergrad/bse-degree-planning&lt;/a&gt; and <a href=“http://econ.duke.edu/undergraduate/major-minor”>http://econ.duke.edu/undergraduate/major-minor&lt;/a&gt;) if you’d like, but I’d encourage you to wait until you matriculate and have a better sense of what those letters (SS, ALP, CZ, etc.) mean. (-: Your E-Team’er will certainly know somebody who has done what you are trying to do (or at the very least, know of somebody who knows somebody who…)</p>
