Engineering double major

<p>I've done some searching on the SEAS website, but there seems to be little information available concerning the logistics of an engineering double major with CLAS. I did notice it mentioned, so it must be possible, but is it actually feasible? Ideally, I would like a second major in a humanities department (not math or science), yet I am wondering if I need to lower my expectations. Has anyone on this board done this, or known someone who did?</p>

<p>My son will graduate this coming Sunday. He will get a SEAS diploma, and also majored in economics in 'the college'. Provided you satisfy the major's requirements (in the college), then you can do the double major. You do not have to fulfill all the CLAS requirements. Of course you do have to satisfy all of SEAS requirements. </p>

<p>You get invited to two diploma ceremonies, but you can probably only get to one. </p>

<p>As his sheepskin will show, it's quite achievable.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>hm, I don't know if I will be of any help to you, but I contacted Dean Marshall about double majoring a while back about doing a double major, except I am considering a double major with Physics (as in ee and physics or es and phsyics). All he really said was that it is possible and easier from the e school than from clas.</p>

<p>thats right, I should have mentioned you don't have to do area requirements such as taking a foreign language.</p>

<p>Also, you can't 'dual degree' by being enrolled in both colleges, satisfying area requirements of both and graduating with an actual DEGREE from both schools. Your degree with be from SEAS, with a double amjor, not one from SEAS and one from CLAS. meh, I kind of wish you could dual degree</p>

<p>My fraternity brother graduated with a double major in computer science and economics. He turned out okay. The worst way to go is to double major in two engineering disciplines. That's a difficult ordeal.</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses. Does one have to strongly overload classes, double majoring, or is it possible through careful elective selection, under a typical student schedule? It seems to me that if any credit overlap is allowed, engineering requirements should grant enough room for a second major (simply in unrestricted and HSS electives), but I'm unsure if this is a correct assumption.</p>

<p>Depending on the major you want to double with, your courseload could be standard to impossible to do. Seeing as we are not talking about double majoring in engineering, you don't have to worry about major courses overlapping. You can use your unrestricted electives and HSS electives if those classes are approved by the list of subjects that can taken for HSS. </p>

<p>What are you thinking of double majoring in?</p>

<p>Currently, I am thinking a double major in Computer Science (within the Engineering school) and Philosophy.</p>

<p>hehe, thats a combo I was once debating.</p>

<p>I am actually still considering it. AI ftw</p>

<p>How about engineering major with, say, a foreign language minor? Still a ton of work? Not too big an increase?</p>

<p>Minors are no problem at all. Minors are taken of by electives.</p>
