<p>Is it possible to double major in something from CC and something from SEAS like physics and mechanical engineering? If so, which would you apply to?</p>
<p>You need to do both the CC and SEAS cores, which means you’d have to stay 5 years unless you have a lot of advance placement and take a mighty courseload.</p>
<p>C02 does make sense why it would be difficult to do it earlier. Columbia has formal programs for students double majoring across schools.</p>

<p>you apply to one school for ugrad, once you are in you apply to the other program.</p>
<p>though as C02 mentions if you advance your courseload and finish enough credits early you could do it in 4 years even though they are both considered 5 year programs.</p>
<p>in your example, physics and MechE are very complimentary so who knows. but columbia like most schools makes it hard to double count classes for majors, fyi.</p>
<p>Thanks for those links!
I think the 3-2 program may be perfect for me. Just to make sure though, if I go to CC as a physics major, can I take engineering classes while I’m in CC to see if thats definitely what I want to do?</p>
