<p>I'm interested in engineering and economics.</p>

<p>Would you suggest majoring in engineering and applying into the Engineering school? Is there any way I can minor in Econ, or perhaps even get a BS in it?
Is there a 3-2 program where I can do both?</p>

<p>I really like Columbia after visiting it and hearing about all of its programs, but I didn't realize that you have to apply to the schools seperately and it that its really hard to switch between them.</p>

<p>you can do engineering and minor in economics</p>

<p>Columbia has something called a "concentration", too - sort of a light-duty minor. Prospective employers would probably not see much difference unless they were very familiar with the Columbia system.</p>

<p>actually, a concentration is bigger/heavier than a minor but less than a major. That's what a columbia rep said from what i remember</p>
