<p>I was lucky enough to get into both schools, but now I can't decide where to go. I'd like to double major in either Mechanical or Civil Engineering, is that a real possibility at JHU?
Help please, any info is greatly appreciated..</p>
<p>You can double major within the School of Engineering (or have a major in Arts and Sciences too), but I have never met anyone who has double majored in two types of engineering. What utility does this have? I think that while there will be some overlap, you're going to be at a very full workload with many hard courses with no time for electives. Perhaps some engineering students can back me up on this.</p>
<p>Actually, 2+ years ago, this used the be fairly common (at least double majoring with EE, ChemE and Material Sciences, maybe MechE, but probably not so much with CivE) since under the old curriculum, as a BME upperclassmen you had to choose to concentrate in one of the other engineering fields. This meant you took a lot of classes in the other department and quite a few people ended up double majoring. </p>
<p>Under the new curriculum that went into effect 2 years ago, I'd say it would be possible to double major in ChemE, MatSci or EE depending on your concentration, but I'm not sure how feasible it would be for MechE or CivE. If you want to know how common the BME/MechE double major is, I'd recommend contacting Cathy Januck, the undergrad program coordinator (contact info here: <a href="http://www.bme.jhu.edu/academics/undergrad.htm)%5B/url%5D">http://www.bme.jhu.edu/academics/undergrad.htm)</a>. A quick glance at the Duke BME website makes it seem like the ME/BME double major is quite common there - it might be possible here as well, but I'm not sure</p>
