<p>Just a couple questions about Fu/College and the interaction between the two. </p>
<li>If you’re enrolled at Fu, can you still take a lot of humanities courses at the College? </li>
<li>Can you maybe arrange a double major- with one major at the college and one at Fu- and still complete it in 4 years?</li>
<li>If you want to do the 5 year Liberal Arts (BA/BS) program do you have to sign up while applying to Columbia or can you decide later?</li>
<li>If you’re applying to Fu, but you send in an optional arts supplement, will you look confused? Like you’re not really that into engineering, more into art?</li>
</ol>
<p>Cheers</p>

<li><p>Yes. That's one of the selling points of SEAS - an engineering education balanced with outstanding offerings in the humanities.</p></li>
<li><p>You can't do a double major across SEAS-CC without a double degree. For instance, you can't get a B.S. with a double major in electrical engineering and economics. You'd have to do one of the special programs and complete the CC and SEAS core courses in the process. That would give you a B.S. in electrical engineering and a B.A. in economics. I doubt you'll finish it within 4 years unless you come in with a lot of advanced credit.</p></li>
<li><p>I assume you're referring to this: Columbia</a> University Division of Student Affairs. "Students who are interested in the 4-1 Program must declare their interest in the spring of their sophomore year."</p></li>
<li><p>No, you won't look confused. By your logic, the only people who should be submitting art supplements are CC intended art/creative writing/dance/music majors. If anything, sending a good art supplement will signal that you have talents in areas other than math/science (this is assuming, of course, that you have already demonstrated a basic level of interest/accomplishment in math/science).</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Send it in if it's good. Don't worry. And good luck to you.</p>
<p>Thanks you! That was really helpful :)</p>
<p>Good post by Sheep; entirely correct</p>
