<p>I know U Penn offers programs like M&T Program which give students chance to go to Engineering school and Wharton school.</p>
<p>I am wondering if Cornell University has such programs or if it at least allows students to do business related major (since it doens't have business school... cept Hotel Administration) and Engineering, or else?</p>
<p>I know it has this ILR or Communication Technology or Keller something scholarship which were stated on the website...</p>
<p>I'll be waiting for the reply! Thanks!</p>
<p>P.S. How is living there up in Ithaca... I was worried if I am going to be stressed out because I'm going to be locked in nature for 4 years. I grew up in cities and I'm not sure how the social life there is... Just a note, I am a pretty heavy breakdancer and like meeting other people :)</p>
<p>I have looked into their Admission process, and I read that it is located in CALS (college of agriculture and life science).</p>
<p>One thing I was wondering was, if I am planning to take both degrees together, if I am allowed, which path should I take? Turning my application in for two colleges or trying to work my schedule for two degrees if it’s possible?</p>
<p>Is it possible for a student thinking of Engineering major and other one as business…?</p>
<p>I saw the double major offer for students at CALS. But, my question is, is double major (or dual degree whichever sounds better) possible for a prospective Engineering student?</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>P.S. Cornell '13! Wow! How’s college life there…? I was wondering how the social life would be there at Ithaca and Cornell Campus. I was very worried when I saw empty streets and no single person during Winter Break at Ithaca. I am extremely overt person and I like to meet people especially through breakdancing. :)</p>
<p>Thank you again and I’ll be waiting for reply</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure that you have to major within your own college, so double-majoring in Engineering and AEM wouldn’t be possible. There are numerous minors, however, that are offered across colleges. I’m not really familiar with the details of AEM or Engineering (or ILR or Hotel Admin either lol), but I will say that you can definitely take courses in other colleges that interest you. For example, I’m a prospective psych major in Arts and Sciences, and I plan on taking some intro business courses in AEM, as well as human resources and organizational behavior courses in ILR. </p>
<p>Hopefully someone with more knowledge can help you out, though.</p>
<p>As for the social life, it’s really what you make of it. There are people here who party 24/7, people who study 24/7, people who balance things out…but personally, I love it here. Orientation was a great way to meet people and make friends, and there are always things happening on campus (concerts, movies, club events, etc). I’m not even a partier, and I’m never bored here! I haven’t been down to the Commons yet, but Collegetown has tons of restaurants and parties to go to at night, and even the mall is decent. I’m sure there’s a breakdancing club here lol, but if there isn’t, it would be very easy to start one!</p>
<p>You can dual major between engineering and arts, and engineering and AAP, and maybe arts and AAP…not about that though. The limited combinations probably have something to do with contract vs. endowed colleges. I believe I’ve read/or heard that the colleges pay each other tuition, essentially, for cross enrollments between the colleges. Makes sense when you see a CALS major, for example, only has a limited number of credits allowed outside CALS. </p>
<p>Also, in engineering, you can minor in AEM (with the exception of OR majors).</p>
<p>I don’t know why you would expect there to be people on campus during Winter Break?</p>
<p>Everyone goes home for Winter Break, it’s a month long.</p>
<p>We do have a breakdancing crew, it’s called Absolute Zero.</p>
<p>Engineering students are allowed to formally minor in business, but are also allowed to take any other classes outside of engineering they want. There really is no need for a dual degree with a “business degree”. Engineering students are already highly recruited even for management, consulting, and finance/banking positions.</p>
<p>Firstly, I would like to say that doing a business minor along with engineering is fairly pointless. Recruiters and employers from consultancy and finance oriented firms heavily recruit pure engineers because they know that an engineering education itself imparts skills they value in employees: critical thinking and analytical skills, etc. Doing a business major (or minor) isn’t telling a prospective employer anything he doesn’t already know.</p>
<p>Also, the previous posts hint at a certain inflexibility in majors at Cornell, which is certainly not true. You may not double major outside your own college, but you can pursue a dual degree from two different colleges. It’s essentially the same thing, only called a dual degree instead of a double major. You graduate with two degrees: a BS and a BA (or BFA).</p>
<p>I, for example, plan on taking Engineering Physics and English at Cornell as a dual degree program. The curriculum is much more flexible than you may think.</p>
<p>if you want to do business and engineering, why not just stay in engineering and get an OR degree along with whatever other major you are intending.</p>

But, my first is to get into Cornell
