<p>Is this possible? How would I go about doing this? ( I want to get a degree from Arts and sciences and engineering).</p>
<p>It wouldn't be a single degree, it would be 2. Hence, technically speaking, you wouldn't be completing a double-major, as it would actually be a "double degree", although it is still often times called a double-major. You can't get a single degree that spans 2 schools. By definition, you would end up getting 2 degrees. </p>
<p>As far as how to do it, you have to check in with both schools and complete requirements for the degrees in both. </p>
<p>Certain schools have specially integrated double-degree programs. For example, ChemE in Berkeley is run out of the College of Chemistry, whereas all of the other engineering disciplines are run out of the College of Engineering. The CoC and the CoE run 2 double-degree programs, the ChemE/NucE program and the ChemE/MatSciE program, where you get a degree from both schools. There used to be ChemE/PetroleumE too, but then Berkeley killed the undergrad PetE program. </p>
<p>It is also discussed on p. 15-16 of the following document.</p>
<p>Note, you can still construct other double-degree programs, but you would have to do all of the administrative work yourself. The preprepared programs already have a course list laid out, as well as advisors already assigned. If you want to roll your own program, you would have to do this all yourself. I've known people who have stitched together BioE (in the CoE) and ChemE. </p>
<p>I know that Ankur Luthra, the last Berkeley Rhodes Scholar, stitched together EECS with Business Administration at the Haas School. I can't think of any who have stitched together engineering with L&S, but I'm sure there has to be some, particularly for EECS + math or EECS + physics or something like that. </p>
<p>However, I would say that I think that double majors/double degrees are probably overrated. The truth is, few employers are going to care that you have a double. I would probably spend the time getting the 2nd major and instead use it to get a master's degree. Either that or just use it to graduate early or use it for a co-op/internship. In the long run, that's probably a more efficient use of time. I would only do a double if you had a true interest in 2 separate fields.</p>
<p>holy moly... haas+eecs?! is this person human?</p>
<p>how long did it take for hass+eecs?</p>
<p>Believe it or not...I was actually thinking of taking a field in HAAS as my minor in additional to EECS...</p>
<p>Given that I can HANDLE it of course, which is NOT very likely...</p>
<p>Though, I believe it is a very interesting combination. Both HAAS and the Cal EECS program are well respected in the world.</p>
<p>I don't think haas offers minors. Where does it say they do?</p>
<p>I haven't truly looked into it yet. I am only thinking about it.</p>
<p>Though, I asked some people, and they told me the lower division requirements between two DIFFERENT colleges might differ, causing the need to take MORE lower division courses before getting to the technical courses, meaning more TIME and in turn more MONEY.</p>
<p>Those people told me it is BETTER to focus on one major and spend the extra money on grad school rather than shooting multiple degrees. Plus, if you spend too long getting undergraduate degree, the school can kick you out for wasting space (lol.)</p>
<p>If you're in engineering, you have 8 semesters to complete everything.</p>
<p>The main problem is that the lower division requirements between L&S and CoE is very different. In L&S, you have the 7 breadth courses whereas in CoE, you have Math, Physics, and Science.</p>
<p>I remember sometime around last year a counselor or one of the students in TBP or HKN or some honor society said that you can't do EECS and HAAS anymore.</p>
<p>hey abdulk. i'm a freshman in college of engineering (mech eng, but will soon transfer to industrial eng.) and am getting a simultaneous degree with the college of letters and sciences (political science). if you keep an overall 3.0, it's not a big deal. if your gpa is lower than 3.0, there's a petition process, but that shouldn't be a big deal, since humanities classes generally raise your gpa (if you're an engineer). You declare your intention first or second semester of sophomore year. If you plan your simultaneous majors well and from the start in freshman year, it shouldn't be a problem graduating in 4 years, though one full summer session will probably be required. if you have anymore questions on this topic, ask away.</p>
<p>Can you double major in chemical engineering and business administration (haas) and still graduate in four years?</p>
