<p>So my friend was considering doing this when he went off to college, and I sort of began thinking, how difficult would a ChemE/Accounting double major be? I understand that it is rather difficult to be able to graduate with a bachelor's in four years for either, and pretty much impossible to reach CPA requirements in four years for accounting, so how difficult would the two together be in terms of credits, and could it be done in five years or, God forbid, less? I told him that an idea like that was insane, but I would like to find out how insane it is really.</p>
<p>I don't think it's so insane. He'll have to possess some pretty steely cojones to pull it off, but anything's possible. Go for it... worst case scenario, he drops one of the majors half way in.</p>
<p>Yeah, the funny thing is that I am sort of considering it, because before apps, I was torn between a major in business or a major in engineering. I applied to all schools for engineering, but some of my schools have excellent business programs as well, according to USN&WR rankings, so I would be receiving a great education in both fields (One of my choices is a top ten in both). Plus, today I met an alumni from my high school that pulled of a similar feat. He double majored in business administration and electrical engineering and is now pursuing his doctorate in material sciences while founding his own company that works with creating fuel cells, among other things.</p>
<p>I'm doing CS and Physics, both technical both a lot of work, but very doable. I may even end up with a minor, and I'll hopefully be graduating cum laude and with University honors (thesis, etc.) You can do it, dude.</p>
<p>I know at least one dual major in accounting and biomedical eng.</p>
