<p>How easy would it be to major in biomedical engineering in the SEAS and minor in a foreign language in the CAS?
Or major in BME in the SEAS and possibly something like history in the CAS?</p>

<p>I am unsure on what I what to study at college and I am worried that because of my not knowing UPenn may not be right for me.</p>

<p>Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>You worry way too much. No one cares if you’re not set on what you want to major. That’s a large part of what American colleges are for. It’s a buffet line. Get a plate and a tray and enjoy. Don’t limit yourself to the ham roast and dry pizza.</p>

<p>Well, when applying if you have an idea of what you want to study it can help frame your application. It’s pretty easy to double major or even pick up a second degree (although you do need to complete another set of required courses). You can do a minor in a different school without completing general education requirements but if you wanted to pick up a second major in it, you’d have to enter both schools and complete both requirements (and you’d be receiving two degrees instead of one degree with two majors).</p>
