<p>I was looking at the possible majors that I can pursue at the CoE but I couldn't find math as one of them...
Does that mean I can't major in math while in the college? If so, is there a way I can major across colleges?</p>
<p>Bump. Come on, guys.</p>
<p>Check out Cornell’s Dual Degree program. You may be able to double major across colleges.</p>
<p>But if you don’t double major, you cannot be a math major in the College of Engineering.</p>
<p>I want to double major!
[Cornell</a> Engineering: Special Programs](<a href=“http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/academics/undergraduate/curriculum/handbook/2010/special_programs.cfm]Cornell”>http://www.engineering.cornell.edu/academics/undergraduate/curriculum/handbook/2010/special_programs.cfm)
That’s the closest I could get… Help me out!!!</p>
<p>I know a few doing CS and Math together</p>
<p>Math is in CAS…</p>
<p>CoE… CoE!
CS and Math… Can you do that in CoE!?</p>
<p>CS is also available in CAS. If you want math and CS, that may be the better place for you. If you try to double major with one major in CoE and one in CAS I doubt you can finish in 4 years. How about a minor in math?</p>
<p>The engineering college has programs in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and Operations Research that cover some of the turf of “Applied Mathematics”. You can check to see whether their offerings meet your needs. Pure, theoretical mathematics is housed within CAS. The engineering college curriculum includes room for some free electives that can be used to take CAS courses.</p>
<p>Why does it matter so much to be in CoE?</p>
<p>Presumably because he was accepted there?</p>
<p>Kyt, TskDbx is right.
Guess I will have to work this out somehow…</p>
<p>ORE and CS look like the closest thing.</p>
<p>Although there is an Applied Math minor.</p>
<p>Edit: Engineering Physics maybe?</p>
<p>I don’t know if they still do, but T&AM staff used to teach all sophomore level engineering math courses. They also taught upper level advanced calculus courses, using the same book as Math 421-2 (or whatever they call it now) in the Math department, advanced calculus for physics majors basically.</p>
<p>Just petition to change colleges.</p>
<p>You’ll need to undergo an internal transfer process…</p>
<p>If that’s the only reason to transfer, I would hold off on that till you take a number of math courses. It could be you’ll find that a math major is not your destiny, after all, and then you would have pointlessly switched colleges. Major aside, the colleges have different course and distribution requirements that OP may have a decided preference about, one way or the other.</p>
<p>I’m looking at a lot of career options and now I have IB as one of my new possible jobs in the future. Perhaps economics will help? Then again, <em>engineering</em> college is most likely not to have the major, eh?</p>
<p>Sounds to me like your best bet is to think about possible <em>minors</em>. Once you start taking classes in an area of potential interest, if you’re really hooked and want to change majors or change colleges or dual major or whatever, you’ll figure it out from there. I think it would be very hard to do a dual major between CAS and CoE because each of those colleges has a lot of non-overlapping requirements for their majors. But once you’re there and taking the classes, you’ll have a better feel for what you’re interested in, and what the possibilities are, and you can sit down with an advisor and work out what your options might be. Good luck!</p>
<p>Agree with above. All this is not something you need to work out before you even show up there. Just start taking courses and revisit once you figure out what you’re actually interested in. The freshman curriculum offers opportunites for electives and relatively few specialized engineering courses. You will have opportunity to get exposed to areas of possible interest, and won’t be very disdvantaged if it turns out you really want to switch. But you may well wind up concluding that your objectives are best accomplished within the engineering college.</p>
