<p>I am a thinking of majoring in Enviromental Engineering and I would like to know how hard it is in comparison to other engineering programs offered at Cornell.</p>
<p>Slightly easier.</p>
<p>I agree with CR.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that all programs in the engineering college - including environmental, civil, and operations research - are still bound to be challenging.</p>
<p>As long as the work is doable (as in I can succed if I study really hard) then I dont find challenging work to be a problem.</p>
<p>Is it extremely difficult to double major? I like the idea of double majoring in engineering and environmental science, but am TERRIFIED that the workload will swallow me whole. haha</p>
<p>@j6h2y5 Major in what type of engineering? Why not just do environmental engineering?</p>
<p>Feasibility of a dual degree depends on how motivated and hard-working you are. I think double majoring with an engineering degree is pretty much unheard of. For most people, one engineering major is more than plenty. (However, lots of engineers earn minors, or devote 10~20 hours a week on other activities like clubs, part-time work, and project teams.)</p>
<p>Keep in mind you might also have problems fitting all of your classes in if you want a dual degree. Most if not all engineering majors require more than 120 credits to graduate, meaning you’re going to have some really heavy semesters.</p>
<p>to j6h2y5: the way you can have two majors with one in engineering is with the dual degree program ([Dual</a> Degree](<a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/academics/opportunities/dual-degree/]Dual”>http://as.cornell.edu/academics/opportunities/dual-degree/)). however, since all the environmental science options are in CALS, and CALS is not involved with the dual degree program, you cannot double major in an engineering major and environmental sciences. environmental engineering sounds like a better bet. here is info about that program: [Undergraduate</a> Programs](<a href=“http://www.bee.cornell.edu/cals/bee/degree-programs/undergraduate/index.cfm]Undergraduate”>http://www.bee.cornell.edu/cals/bee/degree-programs/undergraduate/index.cfm)</p>
<p>don’t really have info to help the OP.</p>
<p>Well, I am a soon to be freshman and I am currently planning to become an enviro. engineer major. However, if I find that I dont like it anymore or if I find something else that suits my interests, the other majors offered in CALS really appeal to me as well.</p>
<p>what college are you in right now? if you’re in CALS, you would have already been admitted as either an environmental engineering major or environmental undecided, right? if you’re in engineering and you later decided to change to a CALS only major you’d need to transfer internally: [Internal</a> Transfer Division](<a href=“http://internaltransfer.cornell.edu/]Internal”>http://internaltransfer.cornell.edu/) but if you’re already in CALS, then you’re all set!</p>
