good undergrad schools for Political Science and Engineering double majors?

College Search & Selection

<p>hey guys, I need some advice. I'm attending a community college where I'm pursuing an associate degree in mechanical engineering and minor in Political Science. After I graduate with an associate degree, I would like to transfer to a University to finish my bachelor's degree. I would like to double major in Political Science and mechanical engineering. I know that it's difficult to double major in anything when engineering is involved but I think I can handle it. If it comes down to it, I don't mind spending an extra year to finish my degrees. </p>

<p>Can you guys recommend some colleges that I should be looking into that has both my majors? I have 3 more semesters till i finish my associate. My GPA is 3.5 right now but I plan on improving that. Thanks for all your help. </p>

<p>I live in New Jersey and I would love to attend school in California or Florida. I'm sick of this damn eastcoast weather.</p>

<p>Some of these are longer shots than others. I'm pulling rankings from US News grad rankings, which I generally find more useful than undergrad for department quality, so take that for what you will.</p>

<p>University of Florida (top 50 in poli sci, top 25 in engineering)
Florida State University (top 50 in poli sci, top 100 in engineering)
Stanford (top 5 in both)
UC Berkeley (top 5 in both)
UC San Diego (top 15 in both)
UC Irvine (top 50 in both)
UC Santa Barbara (top 50 poli sci, top 25 engineering)
UC Davis (top 50 in both)
USC (top 60 poli sci, top 15 engineering)</p>
