<p>So I want to be very robust in these areas, and originally I wanted a double major in CE and CS but Georgia Tech doesn't allow that (Because the two courses or closely related). So does GT allow you to have a minor in CS and learn two threads? Or would it be better to minor in CE instead?</p>
<p>Before you confuse the heck out of everyone, CE is universally Civil Engineering. You can use CompE (or more broadly ECE) for Computer Engineering. :)</p>
<p>GT doesn’t offer any double majors, period. You can earn two BS degrees, but that would require a substantial amount of additional coursework and at least another year (probably 2) of undergraduate studies.</p>
<p>From this list ([GT</a> Catalog : Undergraduate Minors](<a href=“http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/minors.php]GT”>http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/minors.php)) there doesn’t appear to be an ECE or CompE minor, so that option is out. The CS minor requires 18 hours of CS courses (after CS1331) so you should have no problem spreading that over two threads.</p>
<p>Oh that’s my mistake then, I just went to Connect With Tech and the guy who gave me a tour around the EE, ECE building mentioned double majors and I asked him if I could double major in CS and ECE, and he said I could only make CS a minor. I guess I was misinformed, for no one told me that Georgia Tech doesn’t do double majors. </p>
<p>But that info is really helpful, thanks :)</p>
<p>Some people use “Double Major” and “Dual Degree” interchangeably, but they’re different. A double major is when you earn one degree then take hours in another area to earn a second certification on your diploma. Your degree is a “Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering and Computer Science” and it’s one diploma.</p>
<p>A dual degree is when you earn two degrees entirely separate and only overlap the electives and core requirements. In that case you earn a “Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering” and a separate “Bachelor of Science in Computer Science”. They come as two separate diplomas. </p>
<p>A dual degree program usually takes longer than a double major. In some cases you can earn a double major with no extra time but a dual degree is required to take 1-2 extra years of study. Because of that required extra time a dual degree is often not worth it. You could probably earn a BS in ECE then an MS in CS in the same time or faster than a dual degree program.</p>
