<p>Hello, i want to do a double major(Undergraduate) in Mechanical Engg. and Physics, is it possible in Cornell University. I have read online that getting a double major along with Engg. is not that easy...</p>
<p>No, you cannot double major in engineering with the second major being outside of engineering. Consider Engineering physics.</p>
<p>Ok if i double major in Mechanical Engg. and some other Engg. maybe Engineering Physics, will i have to pay fees for two majors differently or will it be equivalent to that of one major?</p>
<p>Cornell’s tuition is the same regardless of how many courses you take for credit/passfail/audit. You can take the semester minimum 12 credits, the max 23, or overload by petition to er… limitless really and you would still be paying the same. </p>
<p>If you meet the major requirements of both within engineering, you will get the double majors. The challenge will really be scheduling because a lot of core classes between different majors have the same time slots.</p>
<p>I don’t see the point of double majoring in mechanical engineering and engineering physics. It honestly seems redundant and makes no sense whatsoever. Some universities, even Princeton, don’t allow students to double major. This is because double majoring rarely makes you seem more qualified to employers, but rather opens up more options if you are unsure what to do in the future. Engineering physics and mechanical engineering majors are competing for the same jobs and, thus, majoring in both will not open any more doors.</p>
<p>You need to research what the real advantages of double majoring are before you start committing yourself to this.</p>
