<p>Anyone attempting dual degree in four years? How hard is it? I did some research and it seems that for ChemE major 11 more classes in Arts and Science can get you an econ major.</p>
<p>That seems like a terrible idea. ChemE is very rigid in its requirements. Engineers also need to take 6 liberal arts credits. </p>
<p>I’m not sure about the exact requirements of ChemE but as a mechE, we have 4 courses required to take each semester for all 8 semesters. on top of that we need 5/6 liberal arts courses. that’s 5 courses for 6 semesters already. assuming you can double count half of those courses with the major, you still need 6 more courses. that’s 6,6,6,6,6,6,5,5 courses per semester to do this. Assuming you can get through the material ok, there might be scheduling conflicts which will not enable you to create a crammed schedule even if you wanted. </p>
<p>I’ve done a 5/6/6/7 schedule so far and it’s not easy at all. However, i’d imagine if I had AP credits my life woulda been easier.</p>
<p>Most students who seek a dual degree at Cornell will need 5 years.</p>
<p>i looked into this as well and I don’t think it’s as easy as you think it is. you need at least 100 credits (i think that’s the correct number) in A & S… so even if all your liberal studies classes are in A & S (which is not at all automatic) AND your advisor-approved electives are in A&S you need to find room for 76 more credits in A& S … i’m pretty sure that’s more than 11 classes.
Sure, it’s possible, but it’s probably not worth it.</p>
