<p>Is it possible to double major in 2 different schools? (I want to do bio in the college and business undergrad at Haas)</p>
<p>If so, how easy will it be? (coz i've heard stuff about how UCB is pretty inflexible with their courses)</p>
<p>With two related majors (like bio and perhaps genetics) that allow overlaping courses, it shouldn't be too hard. The more unrealated the majors are to one another, the more time consuming the process is.</p>
<p>Since you're a prospective Haas student, yes you can double major. About 200 of the 300 students in Haas earn simultaneous degrees; that is, one major in one college and another major in another college. </p>
<p>Haas and L&S has some overlap in in general breadth courses, so you'll be okay. However, be forewarned that upon entry into Haas, you only have 4 semesters (2 years) to complete your B.S. in Business Admin. Haas will grant you 1 extra semester, but that semester must not have any business classes in it, just your other major.</p>
<p>You'll probably have to consider some summers, though upon entry into Haas, you're required to spend one summer taking "core" classes. </p>
<p>Just remember you have to get into Haas first (and bio can be your back up since you're interested in it).</p>
<p>thanks. in general, how intense is the double major? what are most of double major students' grievances/ do they regret because of the heavy courseload?</p>
<p>Intensity depends on the subject. Bio+Hass might be pretty intense if you want to graduate in four years and only take the junior summer for Haas and no additional classes during other summers. </p>
<p>Why are you thinking about double majoring?</p>
<p>what about doublemajoring in EECS and Business. How hard would that be? (note how I said how hard, not how easy =P)</p>
<p>I went to that UCLA Open House thing about half a month ago, and the professors said it's not that bad to double major in EE and Business. Their exact words were, "you'll probably need to take about an extra semester's worth of classes, but then again, that'll probably be the easiest semester you'll have in college." LoL</p>
<p>Anyway, my friend at Cal says EECS is pretty cutthroat as it is. How's business at Cal like?</p>
<p>UCLA doesn't have business, so maybe those profs were referring to business economics and EE. At Berkeley, I've heard that the EECS grading is incredibly hard, but that many students are supportive to one another. Doing both eecs and business might be tough- the CoE gets students out in 4 years, and Haas allows students to stay in for usually two, sometimes 2.5 years. Look at the required courses and you'll see it will be pretty tough without many summers devoted to working on courses.</p>
<p>what about eecs and chem e?</p>
<p>I have a 3rd year econ friend who decided to apply for Haas in this year b/c she took so many bus.ad. classes she might as well apply, and got in. She is on track to graduate with a double major in econ and bus.ad.</p>
<p>Well, Haas and bio is doable.</p>
<p>EECS and Chem E is doable too since many of the classes overlap. I know a few people who are majoring in EECS and graduating, and finished all their required classes by their third year. I guess EECs doesn't have many upper div requirements.</p>
<p>Of course, you will probably be studying 24 hours a day. Sounds like fun.</p>
<p>What about haas and legal studies?</p>
<p>Or History and Business?</p>
<p>haas and legal studies is a semi-common double major. personally i was oging to do business and legal studies, but then i found psych more to my calling......so now i'm doing psych and legal studies....and a public policy minor. and yes, i work too =D</p>

<p>Hows the workload? Do you feel you can graduate in 4 years and keep a decent GPA? How many units a semester are you taking?</p>
<p>im assuming math/econ is pretty do-able. i heard the math dept at cal is pretty intense though. i am no mathematical genius but i do enjoy it and have done well in community college classes, if that means anything.</p>
<p>any advice? should i just stick to econ? any applied math majors out there?</p>
<p>Personally, I would shy away from double-majors. In most cases, the effort that you would spend in completing that second major is better spent on either getting a master's degree or just graduating early. This is especially so in engineering where a master's degree is highly marketable.</p>
