Hi guys!

Do you know if one can move from Operations Research and Management Science (BA) to IEOR (BS) in UCB? Is it hard to do so? And what is the scope for a double major in between the two majors?

Thanks

http://engineering.berkeley.edu/admissions/undergrad-admissions/change-college describes changing into the College of Engineering.

ORMS and IEOR are similar enough that double majoring (actually simultaneous degrees because it is across L&S and CoE) is rather pointless. Note that the IEOR department sponsors the ORMS major. See http://www.ieor.berkeley.edu/academics/undergraduate .

Thanks @ucbalumnus ! Do you think having a ORMS instead of IEOR changes anything about my career prospects, especially as a international?

Hard to tell when the career survey combines the two majors’ results (presumably due to small size).

Ahh, Thanks so much @ucbalumnus!
