More specialization Vs Double Major

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>I am majoring in chemical engineering. I have two options: </p>

<p>1) Take more electives (such as organic chemistry, Chemical Synthesis I, Physical Chemistry I, Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry)</p>

<p>2) Double major in Physics (taking four additional courses Electromagnectic fields, Modern Physics, Quantum Physics, Advanced Modern Physics)</p>

<p>I cannot decide which option to choose. I think I will enjoy both options equally. Both which will be more beneficial in long run, 1 or 2? Or it does not matter?</p>

<p>Do you plan on doing interdisciplinary work and going to graduate school? If your answer is yes, and you genuinely enjoy physics as much as ChemE, then yes, double major.</p>

<p>If you plan on going into the workforce, don’t necessarily want to do interdisciplinary work, and like physics alright but not as well as ChemE, I would advise against it.</p>

<p>As far as middle ground… well, you’ll have to judge for yourself.</p>
