<p>I got accepted to UIUC as an aerospace enginerring major</p>
<p>I was just wondering what i need to do in UIUC to take business as a double major </p>
<p>any help?? please?</p>
<p>That would be very difficult. You need to be accepted to the college of business as a double major. For that, if you are in another college when you begin, the best time to apply for the second major is for beginning of junior year. However, to be accepted to the business college, which seldom accepts anyone as a double major from another college, you need to complete, during your first two years, the course load requirements that a normal business student completes in the first two years in a particular business major that you might want to pursue. That is difficult to do if you are in engineering because the course load requirements you have for engineering basically fill your entire schedule. Note UIUC has General Engineering as one of its engineering majors which has to it a business administration bent. It is easier to apply and be accepted for a minor in business but even that is difficult to do if you are in engineering because the engineering curriculum doesn't give many spots to put courses for an unrelated minor in your schedule.</p>
<p>Can I just add that aerospace engineering is going to introduce you to all sorts of new late-night hours. Watching the engineers stay up 'til 3am working on chem hw pains me.</p>
<p>Thanks for replys</p>
<p>First of all, Engineering is tough. I'm in Electrical, and it's tough. If you want to double major in Business, you need to be a Business student to major in Business. Plus, other than Econ, you can't take that many business classes. They changed the rules, and now, only freshmen can apply for business transfer. If you don't transfer into business as a freshman, you won't be able to apply again or major in business. </p>
<p>You need to be a business student double majoring in engineering if you want to double major.</p>
<p>I'm not even sure you can double-major with majors in two separate colleges...violates some kind of University by-laws. Which is the reason secondary education people have their program as a minor rather than a double major in education and history/science/english/math.</p>
<p>no offense to divinity, but you're kind of...very wrong. It is very possible to major in programs in two different colleges (my roommate is doing it - business and speech com, which means she'll be graduating from LAS and Business).</p>
<p>THAT BEING SAID, I definitely agree that it it pretty friggin insane to major in engineering and anything else, let alone business (for which you do need to be in the college of business). ALSO, while I mentioned that a dual degree is very possible (getting a bachelor's degree from two different colleges within the same university) it may even be technically impossible to get that particular combination of two, since business and engineering are both very demanding in their course load.</p>
<p>u sure she's not minoring in business, if not ask her what major she actually is</p>
<p>uhh..I don't know which "she" tennisfan is referring to, but if it's my future roommate she is currently in the college of business where she will be graduating from with a bachelor's degree in a business major AND WILL ALSO be graduating with a bachelor's degree in a speech com major from the college of LAS.
thus, a double major and dual-degree (because the majors are in separate colleges)</p>
<p>^^Are you completely sure of that? I read on the LAS website that you absolutely cannot major in something outside the particular college.
If your right then thats great becuz one of the things about UIUC that was bumming me out was that i couldnt double major in business and economics which was definately one of my goals.
Maybe she majored in finance and speech cummunication. they allow that..but then she wouldnt be enrolled in the college of business.</p>
<p>what it is is that she's majoring in one major and then switching to the other major when she's finished all the requirements. If the College of Business won't even let you be a Finance Accy major at the same time, what are the chances they would even let you do speech comm and whatever business major she is at the same time. The idea behind getting a duel Finance/Accy Degree is that you be a Finance major for a few semesters, finish up all your courses, and then you switch to an Accy major and do a couple courses there . Once you're done, they'll give you a duel degree.</p>
<p>Is it possible to dual degree in Finance (from the CoB) and economics from LAS and graduate in 4 years?</p>
<p>question:
I'm majoring in Aerospace Engineering; is it possible to minor in linguistics or a language?</p>
<p>possibly yes, possibly no. it mainly depends on whether you have enough time to even complete the required courses. i am extremely certain it is impossible to be enrolled in two colleges at the SAME time. if you came in with like 40 credit hours from AP or something have most of ur gen. eds. done already, yes they'll probably look at u and say hey you're smart let's see if you could possibly fit a second major or minor in.</p>
<p>So I found this site for those wanting to get a second degree from LAS
LAS:</a> Students: Admission</p>
<p>Yeah, there are alot of restrictions and regulations but its definately a ray of hope.(I thought they ABSOLUTELY dont allow double majors)</p>
<p>And from what i gathered on the site, you can be in two different colleges at the smae time, but you must complete requirements for both colleges.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>When you say Engineering is tough, what actually makes it 'tough'? </p>
<p>Is it the load of the coursework, is it the fact that its hard to get an A in the subject or what?</p>
<p>It is the fact that the coursework is hard AND there is a lot of it. Also, many engineering majors at UI have between 90-100 hours of technical credits required. Considering 4 years is about 130 credits, that doesn't leave you much time to acquire a 60-credit major in an unrelated field.</p>
<p>However, a minor isn't so bad. For example, I have plenty of AP credit, so I can be a German minor (35hrs required) and still graduate in four years.</p>
<p>Hm. From where I come from, we have Advanced Level, which is basically like AP. So I have some credits too. Basically Ive already done all the courses before hand which Im supposed to take in my freshman year :/. But I read something about proficency exams. How do you prep for them?</p>
