double major? is it possible?

<p>Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible ( considering the heavy workload and rigor of the schools) to
1) double major in bioengineering and business
2) major in bioengineering and minor in business</p>

<p>at Stanford or MIT</p>

<p>(and I've received alot of comments like "ur crazy" or something along those line)</p>

<p>Would appreciate it if somebody who goes to these 2 schools give some input on the courseload of the two majors</p>

<p>Thanksssssssss</p>

<p>Your best bet is to double major at MIT because it has both majors your are interested in. It is easier to double major at MIT than Stanford because of less requirements.</p>

<p>anymore input?</p>

<p>Cracker, I have the exact same question! You're awesome!
Lol, I'm more interested in Stanford, so I'll give you some input there.
First of all, make sure you don't put "business" or "bioengineering" for your major of interest for your Stanford app because it has NEITHER of those majors (well, they're not exactly listed as that).</p>

<p>Stanford has biomedical computation and biomechanical engineering. I think I'm interested in the latter and have heard that Stanford is very into this major/program.</p>

<p>And, Stanford does not have a business major, but you can of course major in other similar fields. I'm thinking of international area studies or comparative studies in race and ethnicity. Look at the website to learn more about a business type major. </p>

<p>However, I do not know ANYTHING about double majoring @ either of these schools. So, I also ask, does anyone here know if it's possible.
Ive been in touch with a Stanford freshman who is planning on double majoring in math and international area studies, so it sounds promising. I know that this is definitely possible at Washington University in St. Louis if you're looking at that school as well.</p>

<p>I don't know about the policies at MIT, but at Stanford, if you want to double-major, you cannot double-count units (with few exceptions, such as introductory skill courses and such), which makes it harder to complete two majors.</p>
