<p>I would like to double major in chemical engineering and fine arts . Will it be hard , how many credits will I have to complete if I want to finish college in 4 years</p>
<p>You probably cannot do this in 4 yrs unless you are bringing in a bunch of credits. Even then, I doubt it. Engineering is usually a degree with few elective credits. The 2nd major would happen out of the elective credits. Plus, the core courses are generally way different between the two. I am betting you will need a good 6 years to do this double major no matter where you go. Sorry.</p>
<p>If you were to go for Chemistry and Fine Arts(not a BFA but rather one from the liberal arts college) though…then perhaps it would be easier to double major. Again, it would depend on the college. Which Fine Arts are you considering?</p>
<p>studio art I guess 
it wont work even if I take summer classes</p>
<p>anybody else has an opinion or experience to share ?</p>
<p>I think lmk was right. You might be able to do a studio art minor.</p>
<p>and what can I do with a studio art minor ? I mean will somebody explain for me and give information abut a studio art minor and the difference between it and a major ?</p>
<p>What would you do with a Studio Art major?? The difference is you take fewer classes so it’s a minor. Unless you plan to teach art I don’t think it will make a difference.</p>
<p>oh , Thank you very much 
now I get it , I think I am going to go for a minor instead</p>
<p>Depends on the college.</p>
<p>A = courses/credits for chemical engineering
B = courses/credits for your art major
C = courses/credits for breadth requirements not covered by the majors
D = usable AP or other credit you are bringing in</p>
<p>Is A+B+C-D the same or less than the total number of courses/credits you will take? If so, the double major is possible.</p>
<p>If you go to a schools with only a few distribution requirements like Amherst, Brown, Vassar or Hamilton, then you could realistically do the double major in four years. Brown is the only school with engineering though. You would have to major in chemistry or physics at the others. So think about the experience you want and follow ucbalumnus’ advice and really plan out the courses you need. In order to do any double major or dual degree, you will have to follow a strict schedule.</p>
