<p>I want to major (undergrad) in mechanical engineering at Cal, but i also want some sort of buisness background. my ultimate goal is a doctorate in mech eng and an MBA. should i double major in both biz and eng, or shuld i major in eng and minor in biz? what would be the advantages/disadvantages of either decision? thanks!</p>
<p>There is no business minor. Double with Biz and Engineering is near impossible if you want to graduate within CoE and Haas' 9 semester limit let alone getting into Haas with the typically lousy grades from engineering requirements like Physics 7 series and the math series.</p>
<p>so does that mean im stuck? no biz minor and "near impossible" double major? im willing to stay an extra year, if thats necessary for the double major. any suggestions?</p>
<p>I think u could go ME now... works for a few years then come back for MBA... then u could do a MS or Ph. D in ME later. That is what my friend is doing...</p>
