Engineering + Business Majoring (Good schools for both)

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I am planning on pursuing a degree in electrical engineering (possibly mechanical) and business.</p>

<p>So far, my college lists are :</p>

<p>UCs - LA, SD, SB, Davis, Irvine
University of Michigan
University of Texas Austin
University of Illinois
Purdue</p>

<p>(not sure if these allow double major in these degrees)
Penn State
Carnegie Mellon</p>

<p>Are there any other colleges that I missed that are good in both majors AND allow double majoring?</p>

<p>ALSO, the schools above DO allow double majoring in these degrees. I checked, but it would help if someone could confirm some of these.</p>

<p>Your help will be truly appreciated! Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I remember people double majoring in both an engineering field and business. They have to take a crazy number of credit hours, but they all said their business classes were a ton less work than their engineering ones.</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. I realized it’s a lot of work, but I’m willing to invest the time into it.</p>

<p>My only concern is that some schools do not allow me to double major in business and engineering for some reason.</p>

<p>Georgia Tech will award a dual degree in business (first tier) and engineering (top 5).</p>

<p>Thanks, I completely forgot about Georgia Tech even though I saw it! I’ll go check it out!</p>

<p>RPI has great programs in both.</p>

<p>The thing about GT is that it awards two BS degrees, not a double major. GT also has the Technology & Management program, which is an incredibly selective program for engineering majors to take special management courses and work closely with corporate executives. It’s basically an honor’s program (small, restricted classes, etc). A few other schools have similar type programs.</p>

<p>As far as I know, you can earn a BSEE + BSMGT + T&M program in 5 years.</p>

<p>You have several UCs up there, but not Berkeley? We have an excellent Electrical Engineering program (You’d only have to take 3 CS classes, plus one cs-math class, if you don’t like cs) and you could do Haas undergrad.</p>
