Is it possible to double major in computer science and business?

<p>I have a question, I know that they are two separate campuses, but is possible to double major in computer science and business?</p>

<p>They are not two separate campuses, only two separate colleges.</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible, probably easier if your primary major is in SCS as that is the more rigorous college. SCS students are required to take a minor or second major as part of their degree, and business is a popular one (minor, though second major is not uncommon).</p>

<p>Is it easier to apply to the double degree program as a freshman, or after we get in? According to [Admission</a> > Admission Statistics](<a href=“Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University”>Home - Computing Services - Office of the CIO - Carnegie Mellon University), all the ppl who applied for the intercollege majors got in. Someone explain please?</p>

<p>There are only certain double degree programs - BHA, BSA, and BCSA. Other than that, its a double major. There are a few differences.</p>

<p>The double degree programs aren’t actually 2 degrees, they are a jointly conferred degree from two colleges at CMU. To get in you have to be accepted to both colleges and the program. So the stats of who ‘got in’ to the BHA program, for instance, are misleading, as they only show people actually accepted to that program - which to even be considered for had to already be accepted to two colleges at CMU. Confusing, I know.</p>

<p>For a standard double major or dual degree you simply need to be admitted to your primary college, and then later on declare that second major/degree if you will be able to complete the required course load.</p>

<p>While this is clearly possible, last year, it was quite difficult for SCS freshmen to get into business courses because of demand from Tepper students. My S eventually decided to go to school this past summer and took some introductory business courses, and decided he was better off with a double major in Engg instead of business.</p>

<p>agree with Dad<em>of</em>3. We rationalized that basic business courses could be had nearly anywhere and everywhere and virtually anytime; But specialized engineering and other courses are harder to come by. If you look at the cost per unit, it pays to take the more unique courses rather than something that can be taken at a community college. </p>

<p>Business like Engineering encompasses a wide field.</p>
