Additional Major

Engineering students may earn an additional major in the College of Letters and Science and have the additional major noted on their transcript at the time of graduation. Double majoring in chemistry, computer science, math, or physics is often the most efficient for engineering students. However, students willing to devote extra time may double major in any of the liberal arts, including anthropology, biology, economics, Spanish, and theatre.

Adding additional majors from colleges other than Letters and Science is not accepted. For example, majors such as finance (School of Business), art (School of Education), and genetics (Agricultural and Life Sciences) cannot be completed in conjunction with an engineering degree. Likewise, students cannot pursue more than one undergraduate engineering degree concurrently.

Students interested in double majoring should talk with their EGR advisor or faculty advisor, or contact the Engineering Academic Affairs Office, 2620 Engineering Hall.
