<p>How would that work? I'm guessing that I can start by applying to LSA as an econ major, but then what? I'm looking at doing either EE, CSE, or Mech E, but although I know majoring in CS is possible, how would majoring in one of these engineering fields work?</p>
<p>Btw, I'd like to apply to LSA from high school as much as possible because I'm really worried that if I apply to engineering I'm going to get rejected because it is more difficult.</p>
<p>I'm almost positive that you can't.
You can major in one and minor in the other though I believe.
(This is true for Ross anyways)</p>
<p>Someone correct me if I am wrong and you can double major with LSA</p>
<p>Yes, you can major in econ and engineering.</p>
<p>Can I pursue a dual degree at Michigan and as a freshman applicant, can I apply to more than one U of M college?
Freshman admission to two colleges can only occur if you apply to the College of Engineering and the School of Music. You can, however, receive bachelor degrees from more than one U of M school or college by enrolling in one program for a year and then seeking (dual) enrollment in the second school or college.</p>
<p>So basically you'd apply to LSA, and after a year you'd be able to sign up for a dual-degree with COE. Keep in mind that even though you wouldn't be officially enrolled in Engineering until your second year, you'd still want to take classes towards engineering in your first year. If you're doing a double major in two different colleges, you have to stay focused on meeting requirements a lot more than a person majoring in only one college. You'd probably want to meet with an advisor to find out which classes you count towards both degrees, which classes you might need to get overrides for (ie, you might need to get special permission to take ENGIN100 your first year since you won't officially be in COE).</p>
<p>as far as i know.. ( i looked into this a little recently)</p>
<p>you dont automatically get to dual degree in engineering. if you apply for LSA and want to double in engineering, you have to apply to the college of engineering and get accepted to do the dual degree program. vice versa.</p>
<p>im in engineering and was thinking about doubling in business. i have to apply for ross, get accepted and start the dua degree.</p>
<p>so my advice is, apply for engineering first. that way you know if youre in or not. then doubling in LSA would be much much easier.
if you apply for LSA, but end up not getting into the CoE, then what are you gonna do? better to know whether you got in first, before you decide to attend the university.</p>
<p>well see the thing is that I want an econ degree for sure. My first ambition is business, and econ is the best degree for that aside from pre-admit at ross, which isn't going to happen for me. Secondly, engineering is just a way for me to build analytical skills and such. Thirdly (is that a word?), engineering is a good backup career because what can you do with an econ degree that actually pays well?</p>
<p>Btw, I've heard that transferring to CoE is really easy...something like a 3.0 in pre-reqs. So if I can't manage to transfer into engineering, then I shouldn't really be in it to begin with..</p>
<p>thats probably the minimum requirement to transfer. you still need to apply and get in.</p>
<p>if all you needed was a 3.0, there would be loads of people getting into the program through LSA. transferring was made for changing your field of study, not for bypassing the system. i doubt they would overlook that. transferring into CoE is not easy, just like transferring into ross isnt easy either.</p>
<p>if engineering is a backup/skill developing path.. i dont think michigan would be the best place to do it. the avg graduation rate for engineering students is already 5 years. if you transferred, it would be at least 6. and transferring would be unfavorable because of reasons already stated.</p>
<p>transferring into LSA from engineering is almost a given. so thats the way to go for that. if you dont want to risk not geting into CoE, then i guess youll have to go for LSA econ. just dont think yull automatically get into COE.</p>
