<p>So, say you are a freshman at SEAS. You take cores and all that required classes, plus the classes for your major right? Is there anyone who does dual major? or dual major and a minor? or dual minor? or really crazy, dual major and dual minor? any of these?</p>
<p>Also, about 4-1 program, are you allowed to major in two different engineering courses?</p>
<p>you can dual major in things with a lot of overlap..such as electrical and computer eng., other than that, its really hard. i'd go so far as impossible if you were looking at either chem.e. or biomed</p>
<p>go here: <a href="http://www.engineering.columbia.edu/students/academics/dept/%5B/url%5D">http://www.engineering.columbia.edu/students/academics/dept/</a>
and click on a major and then the "undergraduate requirements" tab near the top to see what schedules look like.</p>
<p>due to class requirements, i'd say anything like a dual major and minor are impossible without a lot of summer study</p>
<p>you can't double minor in SEAS, you must have a major</p>
<p>i meant a major and a dual minor, is that possible?</p>
<p>possible, yes, depending on the major.</p>
<p>Employers usually hire engineers for your skills in one area, not because you're a great electrical engineer and history buff. In fact, a dual major or minor in an area unrelated to your major may actually hurt you, for engineering jobs at least.</p>
<p>under industrial engineering department, there are
Industrial Engineering (IE)
Operations Research (OR)
Operations Research: Engineering Management Systems (OR:EMS)
Operations Research: Financial Engineering (OR:FE)</p>
<p>what combination of dual major you think is the best?
is economics the best choice for minor?</p>
<p>have you even looked at the sheer number of courses for those majors?</p>
<p>sure up until jr year they are all the same, but look at sr year. there is almost no overlap.</p>
<p>Dual majoring won't put you ahead, so the only reason to do it is if you are REALLY into the stuff. Don't just dual major just to dual major... that is pointless.</p>
<p>A friend of mine is dual majoring in Applied Science and Comp Sci, but I think he is crazy because he needs to take tons of expensive summer classes, but he enjoys it so... yeah.</p>
