<p>The double major program seems very appealing - I know I could do one in physics and mathematics (both CAS), but could I do a double major in physics (CAS) and an engineering discipline?</p>
<p>Does CAS have a formal minor program? Can these be taken from other colleges?</p>
<p>There would be no need to do a physics(CAS)/engineering double major.</p>
<p>The College of Engineering has an Applied Engineering Physics major which is consistently ranked the top in the country. [School</a> of Applied & Engineering Physics (A&EP) - College of Engineering - Cornell University](<a href=“http://www.aep.cornell.edu/]School”>http://www.aep.cornell.edu/)</p>
<p>If you wanted to do physics and another engineering discipline, you could double major in Applied Engineering Physics and your other Engineering Discipline, but you would be an Engineering student, and not a CAS student.</p>
<p>I don’t think the A&EP/engineering option would suite me. I want to get into fundamental theoretical physics and pursue it further, and the course doesn’t really go very deep into the physics. </p>
<p>According to <a href=“http://www.arts.cornell.edu/programs/Dual_Degree.pdf[/url]”>http://www.arts.cornell.edu/programs/Dual_Degree.pdf</a> a dual-degree is possible from among colleges, so I guess I’ll be looking into that if I ultimately decide to do some engineering as well.</p>
<p>That will very likely take you more than 4 years, probably 5 so keep that in mind.</p>
<p>Actually, the physics and AEP tracks are almost identical, look at them both, for the first two years, they are exactly the same. The major differences are in other requirements for the college.</p>
<p>In Arts, you have to take a language, and you are required to take other classes.
For Engineering, you only are forced to take 6 liberal arts classes, and have many more math/science requirements.</p>
<p>Very interested in Dual Degree - BFA (AAP) and BA (CAS).
Accepted into AAP.
Does anyone have experience in this Dual Degree program?
AAP seemed very encouraging in the interview.</p>
<p>I’ve already done a lot (most, probably) of the first year physics course taught at Cornell (Indian education FTW). The “Advanced Standing Exam” would hopefully let me gain some credit. Would this mean that I would be able to complete the dual-degree program in four years, rather than the standard five?</p>
