<p>Amongst the following plans, which choice of major would allow me to get a dual degree alongside economics if I would also like to graduate in 4 yrs?</p>
<p>BS in Computer Science
BS in Computer Engineering
BS in Electrical Engineering</p>
<p>Or would it be better to just get the engineering degree and get a certificate in a program like Financial Economics?</p>
<p>my neighbor is EE and economics. To say the truth, it is not incredibly difficult to get a double major in econ when you in engineering. the additional classes that you have to take are not excessive. Plus, the three engineering majors that you listed are not notorious for being very difficult. </p>
<p>Long story short: it shouldn't be a problem.</p>
<p>I'm planning on doing the same thing. (CS and Econ)</p>
<p>^So which engineering majors ARE known to be extremely difficult? I would think that ChemE and BME aren't too easy.</p>
<p>I assume that you declare a 2nd major once you are accepted into NU right? if so, would it be better to apply for McCormick or Weinberg fist?</p>
<p>You have to be in the non-Weinberg school to double major.</p>
<p>From what I've heard (I'm only a freshman) BME is somewhat difficult as is EE. The easier engineering majors are supposedly CS and IE.</p>
<p>What about the possibility of earning a BS in CS, BA in Economics, and the certificate for Financial Economics? Would this be too much of a challenge given the prereq's for getting into the certificate program?</p>
<p>The prerequisites for the Kellogg Certificate are pretty much just Math and Econ courses. Majoring in CS and Econ will probably fulfill most of those requirements. I'll be trying to do the same thing, although I really want to get into MMSS, since they tend to like to take MMSS students. </p>
<p>Ah so you plan entering as CS major, and then try to get into the MMSS program and if not then just econ, and then get the certificate? That sounds like a very good plan. :D I might explore this option as well.</p>
