Are these Dual degrees any good?

If you are going to double major make sure you sweet talk your adviser about letting you double-dip classes to count, if you hit road blocks there you might need to go straight to the dean.

One problem I have seen with double majoring (especially with engineering) is that departments can be adamant about you taking “their” version of the class. For example, I took Probability with the Math majors but had to take it again as an Engineer. Needless to say, make sure you plan ahead and look out for special classes that could count for both requirements.
