<p>Is it possible to get two simultaneous degrees if I plan on transferring from a 2 year community college? If so, how would I do it (do I apply to both or what?)</p>
<p>this might not be true but i heard that you would just apply to the second major after you get in for the first.</p>
<p>Yes it’s possible. You would apply to Haas first as it is substantially harder to get into then L&S. </p>
<p>Then once your in Haas then apply for a dual major</p>
<p>Haas and EECS will be so incredibly difficult to do! But if you really want to…</p>

<p>Just majoring in EECS itself is already a heavy courseload. You’re better off graduating in EECS and going to Haas or another top business school for an MBA later down the road.</p>
<p>^you can’t go to haas if you already have a bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>^ He was referring to Haas for an MBA. Which definitely requires a bachelor’s degree.</p>
<p>I do recommend just going for the MBA route. Seriously, what good will a degree in BA do you with a BS in EECS? IMHO the MBA is the logical choice.</p>
<p>yea, MBA does sound most logical…but since i’m doing something equally illogical (haas or econ with an as of yet undetermined bio related major(was gonna do bioe but too many prereqs for one year :[) i’m not really in a position to say much…but i think i recall hearing something about a couple of people who’ve done EECS and Haas…it was a couple of years ago, but it has been done…</p>
<p>it’d be pretty much near impossible to do it as a transfer but this guy did it in 3.5 years:</p>

<p>he was a rhode scholar and after oxford got accepted to the JD/MBA program at Harvard.</p>
<p>i wish i was him.</p>
<p>i wonder what his social life was like, and yet even with the dimmest answer, he now has a free ride to oxford and will have plenty of time to score some euro babes. </p>
<p>or maybe not, either way bravo!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure lakerforever meant to say: you can’t go to Haas’ graduate program for an MBA if you have a bachelor’s degree from Haas’ undergraduate program. I’ve heard this many places before but I’m unsure if it’s actually true. The reasoning behind it was many classes between Haas undergrad and Haas grad are shared and they don’t want you retaking them. This is also true at many of the other top tier business programs.</p>
<p>ive actually heard an engineering degree coupled with an MBA is quite sought after. it represents a high level of intelligence combined with good managing skills.</p>
<p>@mikei: no, that’s not what i meant. i meant that you can’t go to haas for undergrad if you already have a bachelor’s. but that’s not what that oher guy was talking about so w/e</p>
<p>This is what I was wondering as well. </p>
<p>I’m a freshman going into engineering (Currently Undeclared, but probably going into EECS). I’ve already taken a lot of classes (Comp Sci equivalent of 61A, possibly 61B as well. Math either thru DE and LA, unless I ought to retake those at a higher difficulty than Community College level. AP Physics C: 5, not sure what class that puts me in. I’ve also taken college courses in Chemistry, Biology, Economics, and Statistics).</p>
<p>I’m not sure what classes that would put me in Freshman year (and I want to take the classes that would be optimal, avoiding taking a redundant class or going into a class that I need substantially better preparation), but I would like to pursue a dual major if I can.</p>
<p>I figure that if I’ve got somewhat of a head start in terms of classes, I will have more options in taking additional business courses.</p>
<p>I’m definitely going to talk to advisors in the upcoming months, as I’m not sure what classes are required before entering Haas (I’ve mainly been looking at engineering courses), but if this is feasible, I would definitely like to try.</p>
<p>Edit: I googled this thread and assumed it was in UC Berkeley’s main page not in the transfer area.</p>
<p>are you trying to tell me you finished DE through LA, all the cs classes, and gen chem before freshman year? Oh and a 5 on the AP Physics C lets you skip the mechanics portion of the physics series.</p>
<p>ps. why the hell arent you trying to get into Caltech?</p>
<p>Thanks about the Physics class info. So that means I’d start with 7B.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted at Caltech, probably because I focused on academics more so than extracurriculars. I sat in on a freshman quantum mechanics based thermodynamics course at Caltech last year, and that seemed pretty rigorous, but I’ve also heard very good things about EECS at Cal. I probably needed to be more focused on a specific passion or goal, rather than trying to take the most advanced courses in fields I was interested in.</p>
<p>I’m not sure the equivalents of the CS and Chem classes, but I’m going to find that out at or before Cal Day.</p>
