Double major or minor?

“Which one will look better on a resume?”

Job offers don’t automatically go to the applicant with the greatest number of majors and minors on their resume, so don’t double major/minor for the sake of collecting them. Personally, if I saw a guy with a gratuitous number of majors and minors on his resume, I would think to myself, “what kind of diploma mill did this guy go to?”

AE and ME have a lot in common so that would be better for you. I don’t think a business minor makes a lick of difference for an engineering job.

Grad programs are more likely to admit students who know exactly what they want to study and have already taken steps to get there. Therefore, depth is much better than breadth for getting into a good grad program.
