Questions

<p>Hi!
I was recently accepted and admitted into the Business Management Major for Fall 2014. I am also thinking of having double majors with Studio Art, specifically for the Digital Art and Photography track, as my other major. Is this a possible combination?
Also, is it possible to have double majors at the start of my first freshman semester?
If I want Studio Art as my second major, do I have to have experience and show a portfolio?
Adding Studio Art, would it affect my financial aid and scholarships?</p>

<p>I am also interested in the MBA Fast Track Program. Is it only available for Business majors?
If I were to get into the MBA Business program, would it affect the Studio Art major in any way?</p>

<p>Moreover, when is the orientation day? Was it confirmed yet?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Accepted Students Day is Sat., 4/5.</p>

<p>Orientation is described in the following link:</p>

<p>You can basically double major in anything, Business and Studio Art sounds like a great combination! You should be able to declare a Studio Art Major immediately, but I would recommend that you wait until after your first semester so you are sure you would like another major instead of a minor (due to course load of double majoring, adjusting to college, etc.) Adding another major should not affect financial aid or scholarships. You do not need a portfolio to declare it. </p>

<p>If you were to do the MBA Fast Track program, you’re in a great position! Since a lot of the business classes for the Undergraduate Major and the MBA double over, they do not allow someone to have a business major and also be on the Fast Track. They require them to pick another major. Therefore, you would be able to be a Studio Art Major on the MBA Fast Track. The program requires application and an interview.</p>

<p>Orientation is usually in July or August, and dates will be on SOLAR probably around the beginning of May. </p>
