Double Major: Buisness and Engineering?

<p>Does anyone know the feasability of completing a double major in engineering and business? Impossible? Hard? Not that bad?</p>

<p>It depends on the school and the specific requirements for each department. at my school (Berkeley), it is possible and some people are doing it. but engineering usually has more requirements than liberal arts so the schedule might be tight and you will be prevented from taking classes outside of your majors for pure interest.</p>

<p>I think double major in engineering and business seems a little extreme. Some engineering programs have strong management streams and I think this is good use of time. If you are intersted in business, you should consider taking financial engineering courses instead of a whole business degree.</p>

<p>at umich there's a 5 year program you get an engineering mba or something and a business something-degree</p>

<p>As the other posters mentioned it depends on your school.</p>

<p>Possible? Its always possible.</p>

<p>Feasible? Perhaps not.</p>

<p>Some Business programs require a plethora of other core requirements that can be hard to squeeze in with your engineering degree, espeically if you want to graduate in 4 years.</p>

<p>I think a better option would be to pursue Industrial Engineering or take some Engineering Management/Managment classes from the Business school. </p>

<p>Keep in mind you can always earn your MBA after working a few years with company and chances are that they'll fund it.</p>

<p>The way that UT combines engineering and business is pretty clever with their engineering route to business program.</p>

<p>McCombs is a very good business school and the engineering school also has a good reputation.</p>

<p>UT is cheap and I've been to Austin a couple of times...you'll either love it or hate it.</p>

<p>I think MIT, Stanford, Purdue & Northwestern has one. I'm not exactly sure, but I want to in the Engineering Business major as well.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech has a dual degree program as well, and it takes about the same time as a regular MBA program (according to them).</p>

<p>Why not think about getting your MBA later on down the road?</p>
