<p>I plan to pursue a BSE in CS in undergrad but will probably not stick with engineering my whole life. So, here are some questions I have:</p>
<li>Will it be too much work if I decide to double major in engineering and something else? Generally, does it take longer to graduate with a double major?</li>
<li>I want to get an MBA afterward so what major should I pick alongside engineering?</li>
</ol>
<p>I’ll be attending Princeton in the fall, if it’s any help.</p>
<p>I greatly appreciate any suggestion. Thanks!</p>
<p>Don't double major, not worth the trouble. Any major can get a MBA later. Top MBA programs generally don't accept people unless they've already had a few years of work experience.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply guys. Let's say I do decide to double major, will it be too much work because I've heard people saying engineering is very intensive.</p>
<p>I think it really depends on what your second major is and how many of the requirements overlap with the engineering curriculum. My son chose to double major in a foreign language. His schedule is really full of engineering classes this semester and he will need to make up his second major class(es) during a summer or additional semester. I still don't know if it is worth it or not :confused:</p>
<p>My friend double majored in Electrical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering because the two majors have overlapping courses so it was a convenient thing to do. She told me that when she applied for jobs, the Biomed Engin. major really limited her opportunities for companies like IBM, Raytheon, Boeing because they did not want someone with a biomed background. She had to drop the biomed major from her resume. I would say that you should stick with a major that you like.</p>
