<p>sup guys. i had a question about double majoring in both business and engineering. Basically, i know nothing about it. By this summer, I will have completed all the courses I would need for all my prospective schools for business...great. So I want to double major in EECS, or something of the like. I know that's berkeley's program, so this post is a little specific to berkeley, but if anyone could offer any information about say davis or something (i know nothing about engineering schools) it would be mas awesome. thanks guys.</p>
<p>you want to double in business and eecs at berkeley???</p>
<p>highly unlikely that u will be able to do it, you will go over the unit max. for UCs i think its something like 214quarter units, they rarely approve going over this number, and if they do its not by the amount u would be going over, which would be a lot fo rthose majors. </p>
<p>Biz and Engineering have diffrent pre major courses, for BIZ you arent going to have to complete physics, tons of math, and chemistry, which you are for ENgineering, that is going to put you over that unit max .</p>
<p>but see. i calculated it. the unit max for berkeley is: </p>
<p>For students coming from community colleges, L&S will grant up to 70 units of credit. Community college credit in excess of 70 units will receive subject credit only toward completing degree requirements.</p>
<p>And then we have this;</p>
<p>Yes? However, this assumes a few things. This curriculum assumes that entering junior transfer students have: CS 61B equiv (4), Phys/Life Sci (16), Math (16) (not including Math 55 or Stat 20, English composition (4), humanities (12), engineering electives (4) and other electives (4), for a total of 60 transfer units.</p>
<p>By fulfilling my business major requirements, i will have exceeded the maximum unit credit limit far and far beyond after the engeering requirements are done. However, I still recieve subject credit up to no maximum for the rest of the courses I undertake...Therefore, I'm not sure how this process would work, but assuming I can cross-apply the subject credit with the haas' prerequisites and finish the rest of the engineering requirements this year, it seems to be plausible.</p>
<p>Then we also have another issue, graduation credit limit. This will obviously be a totally massive problem. However, I believe that it is possible to resolve this. That curricula balanaces out the engineering courses with humanities courses. If I subtract all the humanities units and substitute for business courses, I end up with around 96 units.</p>
<p>I waive the core accounting requirement because i have already taken accounting, and I waive all breadth requirements because I have taken all of them at CC. </p>
<p>Therefore, between four semesters, I would need to satisfy the requirements of 96 units. This would approx. to 24 units per semester. Assuming that I can take more then just the required undergraduate courses in the summer intersession before I transfer and add in two more courses, which would bring me to the summer unit maximum of 12 or somethingish i believe, that lightens my load during senior year to 20.5 units each semester, which falls within the range of thier unit maximum. They agree to exceed the unit max so long as it is achieved within two years after academic admission. So it seems as though it wont put me over unit max.</p>
<p>lol. Assuming it is possible, any particular reason why you'd put yourself through this?</p>
<p>Are you forgetting about GE courses? Aren't those humanities courses required?</p>
<p>You should call UCB and see what they say. Their College of Engineering requires transfer students earn their degree in 4 semesters although you might be able to petition for a 5th semester. Keep in mind that you won't always be able to register for the courses that you need so that can set you back. Maybe you might also want to think about getting a BS in EECS and then get an MBA afterwards or something.</p>
<p>cuz i wanna? <em>shrugs</em>. It's just something that I've always wanted to do-something I knew I'd be good at if I applied myself. and besides, even if it doesnt work out, then what? I mean, jesus christ. I've finished all the undergraduate requirements already. INCLUDING ACCOUNTING! </p>
<p>I just want to challenge myself...and I think this is a good way to take advantage of the resources. I'm not going to get into the whole 'you're not so passionate about it you'd commit suicide for it' thing because I think it's ridiculous. It's learning, right? If i'm totally turned off, I'm turned off. Right now, though, I'm just really motivated to do it.</p>
<p>1st of all, you would have to get into HAAS and then into the Engineering program, once you do that then u should think about double majoring.</p>
<p>Also, who said they allow double majoring in diffrent colleges, some schools dont allow that, if u want to double you have to double within the same college.</p>
<p>actually, I should have referred to it as simultaneous degree; many haas students end up doing that. And yeah, you're right. :-). But if i dont start my academic preparation now regardless of whether or not i get into cal, then I wont be able to do it wherever I go anyway. right? and since i have to start now, it's better to see whether or not it's possible at my first choice if anything.</p>
<p>anyone have any advice?</p>
