<p>hi
i wanna do engineering and business together
i know they are unrelated so i was wondering if this could be possible at cornell.
if not, at least minor in one of the area maybe.
btw i got into college of engineering so i just wanted to know to help me choose which university i shall attend</p>
<p>Yes, you can double major. I believe (not sure) it has to be in the same college though.</p>
<p>I’ve think you can only double major within the same college
[Double</a> Major](<a href=“http://as.cornell.edu/academics/major-minor/double-major.cfm]Double”>http://as.cornell.edu/academics/major-minor/double-major.cfm)</p>
<p>you can’t double major across colleges unless it’s a dual degree program and even then it’s only btwn the endowed colleges.</p>
<p>you CAN, however, double major within your own college - so if you want to do engineering and business, you could do whatever engineering major you were going to do + ORIE (which is essentially business but lots more math and quant stuff)</p>
<p>You can do a minor in business in CALS: [Applied</a> Economics and Management/Cornell](<a href=“Applied Economics and Management Degree Program | Cornell Dyson”>Applied Economics and Management Degree Program | Cornell Dyson)</p>
<p>I think countryangel926’s suggestion would be the best, because your business experience would be designed with engineers in mind, and by only having a minor, you’d still be able to focus on the engineering courses and finish in four years.</p>
<p>I don’t know why an engineer would want more of a “business education.” The skills you will learn through those classes you will learn at the first job you ever hold.</p>
<p>The quantitative skills and logical problem-solving you learn and mold through Cornell Engineering are more than sufficient to beast any “undergrad business” majors.</p>
<p>Not that I have any intentions of doing this, but can you double major and dual degree, so you end up with say a B.A. in Econ and Govt (or maybe just a minor) and a B.S. in Computer Science? Just curious.</p>
<p>You could do all three actually. CS is offered by the College of Engineering and by the College of Arts and Sciences, so you could do all 3 in CAS if you really wanted to.</p>
<p>In a similar way, you can double major in engineering and business if you were a BioE major in CALS.</p>

<p>So you’ll graduate with something like an A.B. (Econs, CS and Gov’t). As several current college students will tell you, having more degrees/majors/concentrations/minors doesn’t translate into any sort of direct advantage because you’re trading something (usually depth) for the breadth.</p>
