<p>Is that possible for me to do that?
Dual major in IE and history.
I actually have more interst in History, But i have never excell in it. On the other hand, I am good at math and physics, but not too much passion lies in them. And I know if i major in IE, I can get a high salary job, but if I major in History, I am not sure about the job, though I can get a JD or MBA in the future. IT's so far far away.
I quite like both. But I hear it's really tough.
So do you have any interests like me or have you once made this sort of difficult choice?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s possible.</p>
<p>As Slorg said, you can, I just don’t know why you’d want to. The IE degree would be more helpful in terms of an MBA or JD, anyway.</p>
<p>If you like history but have no intention to work in a history-related field, you might want to think about just a minor or taking elective courses in the history department. I wouldn’t double major unless you actually intend to use the degree.</p>
<p>It’s possible, though I would suggest only minoring in history. The IE major is more flexible when it comes to career options.</p>
<p>thanks so much.
MY future is clearer now:P</p>
<p>The is an entire pool of colleges that truly want you: the intellegent thoughtful person who wants both the critical thinking fine honed by a liberal arts education, AND the analytical skills of the STEM oriented soul. Take a look at liberal arts colleges that offer strong engineering degrees:</p>
<p>Dartmouth
Princeton
Brown
Bucknell
Washington University
Harvey Mudd
University of Portland
Fairfield University.
Swathmore or skidmore (I get them mixed up)</p>
<p>etc etc. </p>
<p>Some employers really do want engineers with strong econ/history/lit backgrounds to groom for upper management.</p>
