Double Major with ChemE, worth it?

How long do planned on being an undergraduate? You do realize that chemical engineering is one of the harder engineering major due to its intense workload, right? A math degree is not going to make you a better candidate as a potential employee. It will help you though if you planned on going to graduate school. It also depends on what type of mathematics, such as pure math or applied math?

In my opinion, you should focus on chemical engineering and make sure your GPA is really high in that major instead of doubling and risking the chances for a poor GPA. Also, take tons of chemical engineering electives if your school offer it instead of taking courses outside your major so that you have a stronger foundation as a chemical engineer.
