<p>Is it possible to do a double major and a minor at UIUC? Namely, industrial engineering, accounting, and math (respectively).</p>
<p>Thanks:)</p>
<p>Also, if I miss the housing application deadline, how dead would I be?</p>
<p>I think that would be a lot of work. I emailed someone (faculty) from UIUC and asked if I could double major in architecture and math. The guy told me that it would be a lot of work and suggested that I either major in arch and minor in math or vice versa. So I think double majoring and minoring at the same time would be even MORE work. Well good luck in whatever you pursue. :)</p>
<p>I don't think double majoring (technically double degreeing since IE and Acct are in different Colleges) is allowed for Engineering and Business.</p>
<p>UIUC allows double majors, including having a major from two different collges. Nevertheless, it is not that easy to do, particularly for such unrelated majors as accounting and industrial engineering. If you are admitted to engineering and also want a major in accounting, you will need to seek approval for that accounting major from the college of business when you reach junior year. That college will then essentially go through the same evaluation it does for a transfer student from another college on campus to determine whether it will allow that accounting major. Included in that evaluation is looking at whether you have already completed freshman and sophomore courses that would normally be taken by an accounting major and have high enough grades in them. You will find that those freshman and sophomore courses are not, except for writing and some gen ed courses you might take, things you will be taking in engineering. The engineering schedule you will be taking is loaded with required courses freshman and sophomore year (and junior and senior year). For you to be able to also pick up those business school transfer prerequisites in freshman and sophomore year will likely require you to take substantially more than the usual recommend maximum of 17 hours a semester (for which you need advisor approval) and to also go to summer school and, of course, you will be taking all those businees related courses with no idea as to whether you will actually be approved for the double major come junior year.</p>
<p>Minors from a different college are much easier to get approved. You essentially just have to declare your intent to get a minor come junior year and it can be from a different college. Of course you will have to meet the requirements for the minor which is still very difficult to do if you are in engineering and want to add accounting as a minor. Significantly easier is to get an engineering major and a math minor because half the math courses needed are ones you will take in engineering anyway. Also, a double major in engineering and math, though difficult to do, will still be easier to accomplish than engineering and accounting.</p>
<p>Don't miss the housing application deadline. If late, you are likely to get housing but it will be some "temporary" housing meaning a place in a dorm not usually used for rooms where they have put up partitions and beds.</p>
<p>Drusba, are you sure that Engineering and Business specifically allow a double degree between them, because I thought I recalled knowing someone who got turned down from that. There are some quirky rules regarding majors, for example ECE doesn't allow double majors of EE and CompE, but other colleges do. I know that Engineering and LAS has a double degree program, but it requires a minimum of 150 units (as do all double degrees), which is 5 years.</p>
<p>it is my belief you are allowed to do something like majoring in two different majors, but it all depends on certain circumstances. e-mail UIUC to find out the exact details.</p>
<p>Check out UIUC's Technology Management Program. It's a minor designed for business majors to get a taste of engineering and vice versa for engineering majors. You get to work with many top students from the college of business and engineering. Plus, the classes are generally smaller and exclusive to students doing the minor. </p>
