Tim2367:

I don’t really like math



Then why are you even considering getting a math degree? That is a pretty surefire way to fail out if you hate your major area of study. This statement is only slightly less alarming for a prospective engineer. Engineering itself is rather math-heavy. Maybe you should be thinking about engineering technology instead of engineering.



Tim2367:

However, would it be the logical choice to finish Math and get a masters in engineering if I can do it for around the same time and money? Or is UVA a good enough school that it would not be good to give up the chance?



If you were going to get a master’s degree then afterward it wouldn’t matter to employers what school issued your bachelor’s degree in the majority of cases. That said, see above.
