<p>So I’m really interested in getting an undergrad business degree in Int’l mangagement at BU, but I don’t want to give up a good liberal arts education. Anyone have any idea if you can double major in two separate schools?</p>
<p>See BUCOP. Search for it.</p>
<p>BUCOP is the BU Collaborative Degree program, <a href="http://www.bu.edu/com/undergrad/pdf/bucop_infosheet.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.bu.edu/com/undergrad/pdf/bucop_infosheet.pdf</a>
Its sort of a super double major, you have to fulfill requirements in both colleges, which can be very taxing. It is a lot of work - especially between CAS and SMG. Also if you don't have previous AP credits to place you out of both colleges requirements, you are going to have to take summer classes.</p>
<p>The point is that CAS and SMG are separate colleges, not departments within a single college. You can't double major across colleges.</p>
<p>Even if you just fulfill the minimum requirements for a degree in SMG, you are not going to miss out on a good liberal arts education--about half of your classes are going to be taken outside of SMG (at least that's how it was when I attended).</p>
<p>Nevertheless, it is possible to BUCOP with CAS and SMG--I did (I've typed quite a bit about it in past posts). I do caution that it is quite a bit of work, but I found it to be rewarding.</p>
<p>I was thinking about majoring in international management at SMG, but could some of the classes I take count as credit for both schools?</p>
<p>Yes--you can fulfill a requirement in both schools by taking one class.</p>
<p>yep... i am BUCOPing in econ and double concentrating in accounting/finance here at BU :) i'm an smg student though, and one of my EC305 (?) reqs is fufilled by one of my SMG required courses. alot of courses actually overlap in specific majors.</p>
<p>So how do you like it? Is the grading policy really as difficult as people seem to make it?</p>
