<p>I was just offered 12,000 a year from the engineering school, but they told me that it only applied i I were to stay in the engineering school. I am not sure i want to do engineering, so my question is, at UMD, could I double major in an engineering discipline and something outside of the engineering school? (I know the workload would be hard) or could I minor in something outside of the engineering school as well? (Like government, for example)</p>
<p>anyone? Im sure some current students must know...</p>
<p>it would be really, really tough to double-major in engineering and something else. not just because of workload, but also scheduling. a lot of upper-level classes are only offered during one semester, at one time, particularly in LEP programs like engineering. you could definitely minor in something outside of engineering.</p>
<p>you also could consider some special programs or honors programs that let you take classes in other departments....... i'll give a shameless plug for an example-- the QUEST program is a joint 3-year program with engineering, business, and cmps students; focuses on quality enhancement, and can be very logistics/business focused depending on which elective classes you take.</p>
<p>yea, i think through the scholars program, i can take some classes in the school of music even though i'm majoring in accounting. this is great considering i auditioned to minor in music and didn't get in. this is assuming that i get into the scholars arts program. : )</p>
<p>congrats on the monster scholarship. not trying to repost but engineering is usually 90+ credit major as opposed to 75-80 for others. most students need to take above 15 credits a semester to finish it. even then taking all math/sci/eng classes is ridiculously difficult especially towards higher levels. double majoring might be pulled off but maybe not in 4 yrs or if u do, gpa could suffer. i wouldnt recommend double majoring, many ppl including advisors are against it since it doesnt help what its worth in terms of jobs or grad school. good luck</p>
<p>if I were to want to transfer to another college within UMaryland, how easy would it be to apply and receieve a scholarship from that school to offset the cost?</p>
<p>Yes you can double in engineering + something else (math, comp sci, physics, even accounting, philosophy anything ...)</p>
<p>double major requires at least 120 credits + required courses from both majors. Double degree is different, it requires 150 credits. You have 2 separate degrees.</p>
