<p>Firstly, is it possible to double major in business and engineering? I've been admitted to engineering so far. I know about the Business Foundations program, but I'm looking for a full, legitimate double major. How would I do that? How feasible is it, both in terms of possibility and workload?</p>
<p>Also, is there any possible way to do a dual degree program in engineering and business? If so, how would I do that?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes there is such a program. It is called the Engineering Route to Business: [Academic</a> Programs - IROM Department - McCombs School of Business at The University of Texas at Austin](<a href=“http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/dept/irom/bba/erb/]Academic”>http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/dept/irom/bba/erb/).

<p>I expect it to be tough to do both engineering and business but if you’re up for it go do it and good luck!</p>
<p>Right, but that program leads to a business degree. I want to get an engineering degree for sure, with business as a second major. The Engineering Route to Business focuses more on business… and I think I would have to start out as a McCombs student to do it, anyway.</p>
<p>How about getting your BS in engineering and then an MBA? I’ll bet it would not take much more time and would be much more marketable</p>
<p>That’s one path I’m considering.</p>
<p>However, let’s assume for a moment that I’ve decided that a double major is definitely what I want to do as an undergraduate. What then?</p>
<p>Thanks for all the advice, by the way!</p>
<p>You can get a Business Foundations certificate as well as your Engineering degree but I don’t believe you can double major. The certificate takes the place of a “business minor.”</p>
<p>I second the MBA option.</p>
<p>I’ve heard from several of my friends that the Business Foundation program is a joke and that the classes are a dumbed down version of what business students take. Just sayin’</p>
<p>^^ yes, no point in doing a certificate course if you are engineering. Couldn’t you do a proper minor in Business?</p>
<p>^^^ I guess UT thinks people who aren’t business majors are not smart enough to do a minor so they offer a business certificate thats good for wiping your arse.</p>
<p>Seriouslly, do engineering and then work for a few yars and get an MBA or something. Doing engineering by itself is impressive enough so good luck ^__^</p>
<p>do engineering then get the MBA, you will make good money</p>
<p>B.S. Engineering + B.S. in any business area is a waste when you can just as easily go B.S. Engineering and M.B.A. Secondly, why would you want to put a whole load of business classes on top of an already very challenging engineering curriculum?</p>
<p>
I think it is that business professors and spots in business courses are in limited supply; UT does not want to use any of their precious “business” resources on non-McCombs kids and does not want to take up the time of any of the “real” business professors 
teaching “Business Foundations” courses.</p>
<p>^^^^ LOL, true but sad.</p>
