Double Majors

<p>Is anyone planning to double major? Has anyone here actually done it? Is it possible to do a double major from 2 different colleges? eg. Engineering and Econ for example. </p>

<p>I'm interested in something along these lines but I've 'heard' that it is near impossible to complete all the requirements etc. I will be going in to college with about 20 credits.</p>

<p>If you're willing to put in the extra time nothing is impossible. I've heard you can in fact double major in Engineering and an LSA major. I'm planning either a double or triple major (depending on if I can afford a year out of pocket by the end), but it'll be in humanities.</p>

<p>a lot of people plan on it, but few people actually do.</p>

<p>econ and engineering might not be so bad, but all of my engineering friends have little or no extra time. also, econ 401 (the requirement for the econ major) is considered one of the hardest classes at the university. i think there are just a few people in the b-school doing a business-engineering double major. how they do it? i don't even want to know.</p>

<p>if you have the drive and motivation, i guess go for it. you're just going to have to sacrifice a lot of your social time and college experience by studying all the time.</p>

<p>I've read the website about Double majoring but I'm still not completeley sure about it.
I'll have to complete 128 credits to graduate. These 128 credits include all the required courses as well as courses in my chosen major. Does this also include electives/minors? I'll then have to complete another 90 credits in another subject to get a 2nd major. Is this correct?</p>

<p>I'll be going in with (hopefully) 28 credits as I'm doing my A-Levels. So this <em>should</em> make it easier.</p>

<p>I think I'm a class or two short of hitting a double major in 2 years, so it's very possible. As far as doing one across colleges, the main issue most people have with it is meeting LSAs distribution requirements. My friend is doing engineering and math, but to get the math degree he has to take 10 credits of natural science next semester to finish off distribution.</p>

<p>And for the record, I don't think econ 401 is the most difficult class at the university in any way shape or form.</p>
