<p>I applied to Cornell Engineering. I'm interested in whether I'd be able to double major in ChemE and Economics. This is one of the qualities I'm looking for to narrow down my college list, and I'm not sure exactly how a cross-college double major would work at Cornell. Also, how hard would it be, because I know Cornell ChemE is supposed to be really rigorous.</p>
<p>This doesn’t answer your question as it is a business minor for Engineers.</p>

<p>Have you reviewed the ChemE requirements to see how much free electives you can take?</p>
<p>There is a concurrent degree program in which you can major across Arts & Sciences and Engineering. Here is the link: <a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/academics/opportunities/dual-degree/”>http://as.cornell.edu/academics/opportunities/dual-degree/</a></p>
<p>However, it takes 5 years instead of 4 to complete, because you have to fulfill the requirements of both colleges. If you are interested in business and engineering, you may want to consider operations research in the College of Engineering.</p>
<p>There’s an extremely popular Business minor for Engineers:

<p>I know someone who is double majoring in ChemE and CS, so studying something else with ChemE can be done. However, he also came in with 70 credits. </p>
<p>Out of curiosity, did you apply to the Fisher program at Penn or the IBE program at Lehigh? They seem to be specifically geared towards your interest.</p>
