<p>I would like to double major in biology and economics. I know that biology would be in the college of arts and sciences while economics would be in Stern. I think I am qualified enough to get into the college of arts and sciences but I don't think I would be able to get into Stern. My questions are:
1. Is it possible for me to apply to both the college of arts and sciences and Stern at the same time, and if so, is it possible for me to get accepted to one but not the other?
2. Is it possible for me to apply to the college of arts and sciences, get accepted, and then also study economics in Stern? Basically, is it easy (or even possible) for people in the college of arts and sciences to study in or completely transfer to Stern once they've been at NYU for awhile?</p>
<p>If you have any other scenarios or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.</p>
<p>if you wanna double major in CAS & Stern, you should apply to Stern.</p>
<ol>
<li>You should choose one between two schools.</li>
<li>if y'r CAS student, you couldn't double major with Stern subjects. And it is difficult to trasfer from cas to stern.</li>
</ol>
<p>1) No.
2) No, you can't take Stern courses beyond the basic level without being in the B-school. And internal transfers are notoriously difficult because a spot only opens if someone transfers/drops out.</p>
<p>I'm not sure why you'd want to go to Stern though, considering you yourself say you want to double major in economics and biology. First of all, even if you were in Stern you could not double major in biology. You are allowed only 38 elective credits, with further restrictions to only CS, Math, and Psych I believe (maybe missing a few here). Also, the "economics" major in Stern is Economic Theory or Policy.</p>
<p>CAS, on the other hand, does have an excellent economics department, has much laxer limits on what classes you have to take, and you could fit such disparate majors into a 4-year college experience much more easily than in Stern.</p>
