<p>I was just wondering if anyone could tell me more about the Material Science and Engineering Public Policy double major at Carnegie Mellon. Any information would be helpful, whether you have attended an info session and gotten information, or if you're in the program. If you're in the program, do you feel "locked in" in terms of what classes you can take since it seems like the curriculum is full of requirements and doesn't have much wiggle room?
Thanks.</p>

Don’t have much time, but I was MSE at CMU. The program is great, professors are really friendly, and the department tends to be very tight knit. A lot of my friends double majored in Biomed, and a number did other fields (physics, music, and almost all of us minored in at least one other thing). The department is flexible, and you shouldn’t have a problem scheduling things that way.
From what I heard back when I was at CMU (…it’s been a while…) EPP wasn’t too rigorous of a degree, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.
EPP and Biomed are designed to be exclusively double majors, so everyone involved there is well aware of what you need to go through in structuring your degree to get everything done in four years.
