I am currently enrolled in the NYU 3-2 dual degree program, in which you complete 3 years at NYU and 2 years at Stevens, ultimately graduating with a B.S in computer science from NYU and a B.E. in computer engineering from Stevens. I was wondering if for someone that wants to go to graduate school, it would be more optimal to perhaps take a 4 year computer science/economics joint major and not miss that year of graduate school plus pay a year more of tuition? (assuming I want to get a master’s in either computer engineering or software engineering in a school other than NYU)
