<p>I want to double major in business and engineering. Should I apply to the School of Engineering or the School of Business?</p>
<p>I inform them of my decision to double major when I am accepted correct?</p>
<p>USC is really good for inter-disciplinary study, in fact they encourage it so things like double majors are all too common over there. The vertibri school of engineering is really good and their marshall school of business is top 10. I’m not sure how the application process would go in terms of what school you’d apply to or if you apply to both or what</p>
<p>Well I actually know what schools I want to apply to the reason I’m asking is statistically speaking Business Schools are usually easier to get into than Engineering Schools.
However, I want to major in Engineering more than I want to in Business.</p>
<p>I suggest looking at U of Penn’s M&T program. But it is dual degree, not dual major. No slack in the program, but they are loved in the job market. S did it some years ago, EE and BSe in Marketing.</p>
<p>Northwestern University may be a good option for you. Apply to the engineering school & double major in economics while earning Kellogg School of Business certificate. Actually this is a great option if you can get admitted to both since the certificate program does not require as many courses as a business major. Realistically speaking, it is hard for engineering majors to find the time to double major so you may just want to major in engineering while earning the Kellogg certificate which is quite hard to get into as they only accept a small # of students.</p>
<p>Fowora,
USC’s business is ranked the 9th by USN but 17th by Business Week. People need to tkae undergrad business ranking with a grain of salt because most top colleges don’t have undergrad biz programs but many of them have better recruiting than even many top-10 business programs.</p>
<p>tarrence13,
You may want to check out Northwestern’s industrial engineering & management sciences program. It’s ranked in the top-10 and there’s a double-major track with econ which is also ranked in the top-10. Their MMSS and Kellogg certificate are awesome.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon is the epitome of Business with Engineering and is well known for its double major programs…</p>
<p>^ I absolutely agree. The number of blue-chip and Wall St. companies that snatch up CS/CIT (comp science/engineering) and Tepper (business) kids amazes even me, especially in this economic slump. The research opportunities, job networking for internsihps, and individual attention is unmatched. A sterling reputation with high salaries and an increasingly balanced social life that the school is focusing on allows you to have your pie and eat it too.</p>
<p>You really need a school that supports the double major.</p>
<p>If you were going to try this at Berkeley, you’d apply to the Engineering major and then try to add on business later, but it’s extremely rare to be able to do this.</p>
<p>Isn’t Lehigh known for both engineering and business?</p>
<p>yeah, i was about to suggest Lehigh. they have an honors IBE major (integrated business and engineering)… its pretty selective and since Lehigh is known for both already you would get a great education with lots of opprotunities there. one of my best friends from HS is in it acutally, and hes really enjoying his time at Lehigh so far</p>
