It's feasible to major in chemE and minor in mathematics/economics right?

<p>This is the path I would like to take.</p>

<p>I'm certain that a math minor is fairly simple considering the math requirements for engineers. However, is an econ minor worth attempting? Possibly an econ double major? Any current students have any takes on this?</p>

<p>the math req for engineers is only calc1+2, ODE, lin.alg/vector: 4 semesters</p>

<p>isnt a minor like 10 courses?</p>

<p>and with the exception of sr year, every semester is at least 5 classes...chemE doesnt lend itself to outside classes</p>

<p>There's no math minor in SEAS. Only Applied Math. BTW, Applied Math = SEAS and Pure Math = CC.</p>

<p>There is an econ minor, which is about 5 courses. A lot of people who are interested in going into finance/business directly or at some point in the future pursue the econ minor.</p>

<p>Remember, that ChemE is one of the most intense SEAS programs. Unless you come in ahead of the game, there are a lot of credits you need just to do the major.</p>

<p>See for the list of majors:</p>

<p>is BME equally rigorous?</p>

<p>make sure to look at the class of '08 and later</p>
