<p>Ever since freshmen year in hs i have always thought that i would go to college and major in business, but lateley i have really been looking at engineering. I like both business and engeneering, but i think what attracts me about engineering is the business/ managment side. So i was wondering, could i go to berkeley and major in civil eng. but still have the option of transferring into haas junior year, if i didn't like engineering? Would taking some of those difficult eng. classes lower my gpa that i couldn't get into haas? And could i meet the pre reqs for haas and be majoring in eng?</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Double majoring in engineering and business is possible, but extremely difficult. The usefulness of such a double major is dubious (you can get an mba later on). Ever thought of Industrial Engineering/Operations Research?</p>

<p>I can't answer the question, but J-sus didn't ask about a double major.</p>

<p>I'd recommend IEOR</p>

<p>I wouldn't want to double major, but i just wouldn't want to get rejected from haas, when instead i could have started an engineering major freshmen year ( and having done all of those pre reqs for nothing and missing out on majoring in engineering).</p>

<p>RockyRoadAhead/phroz3n, does berkeley have Industrial Engineering/Operations?</p>

<p>Berkeley's IEOR program is very good and quite difficult to gain admission to IIRC.</p>

<p>The IEOR Department Website:</p>

<p>I recently switched from bioengineering to IEOR :)</p>

<p>Don't apply to the UGBA program because you'll have to take a string of breadth courses that aren't related to engineering or business whatsoever (more to just "weed out" potential applicants and give the 50% who are rejected from Haas yearly something to study)</p>

<p>unlimitedx, could you describe the major? what type of classes do you take and how much business/management is involved? Thanks a lot.</p>
