<p>is it hard to major in two different "schools?"</p>
<p>From all I have heard and read, it is very easy, especially compared to other universities.</p>
<p>On the whole, it’s really easy. Doing it between Arts&Sciences and the Business School is the easiest combination.</p>
<p>If you are in Art or Architecture, the majority (definitely over half) of those students have a second major outside of Art/Architecture. </p>
<p>Engineering is going to be the hardest, just because of the amount of pre-requisites you need to move further into Engineering (like, you obviously can’t progress in BME if you don’t have a lot of Calculus and Physics). But I suppose its possible. If you aren’t primarily enrolled in the Engineering school, you don’t hear about too many cases where kids in like ArtSci get a second major in Engineering. The kids who really want to do Engineering will be enrolled in the Engineering School. A couple of the departments do offer Minors in the EN school. I know Computer Science does, but I’m not sure about which other ones offer a Minor in addition to a major. </p>
<p>It’s easier at Wash U, because you don’t have an extensive set of Gen Ed requirements as other schools do. Each division does have its own foundational coursework for obvious reasons, but there is no “Core” at Wash U. So, you have comparatively more time and freedom to take classes in multiple divisions and thus get more than one major.</p>
<p>Registering from courses is essentially like online shopping. You get to browse and search through each class that Wash U offers, and then you just click “add” and the courses go into the little shopping basket of sorts. There are relatively few barriers between the divisions. </p>
<p>I’m only getting one major and one minor in Art Sci, but several of my friends do have 2 majors (some in more than one division).</p>
<p>thanks. 
i haven’t made up my mind about majors, so i wanted to know if there are lots of options here</p>
<p>It really depends on what the majors are, as was said above…</p>
<p>I’m doing a double major with Physics (Art/Sci) and Computer Science (Engineering). The Engineering school offers three different “versions” of the CSE major - a BS in CSE, a BS w/ Major in CSE, and a 2nd Major in CSE (ranked from least to most flexible). With those options, CSE isn’t too bad with another major. This gives you the option of picking ONE school whose general requirements you want to fulfill, and just focusing on the major itself in the other school you’re getting a degree from.</p>
<p>I don’t know if double majoring is this easy with other majors in the Engineering school (BME probably isn’t). Doing the double major, I’m kept fairly busy and am considering falling back to a minor in Physics with the CSE major, but that’s mostly because I’m doing a lot of music and humanities programs too… hope that helps some!</p>
<p>^BME and ChemE aren’t all that difficult, since a lot of the classes overlap.</p>
