Usually if you want to know answers about a specific school, it’s a good idea to check the school’s website. I found this on the GT website (after searching for “Georgia Tech double majors”:

*Q1. Can I double major at Georgia Tech?

Second Undergraduate Degree - Georgia Tech does not offer double majors but does offer a second undergraduate degree. You must meet all of the requirements for both degrees and earn credit for a total of at least 36 additional hours in excess of the first degree.*.

More information about that is [here[/url]. Double majors at many universities are basically programs which allow you to double-count some of your classes for both majors - i.e., if you were a math and physics major a mathematical physics class might be counted towards both majors. It appears that GT does not allow you to do that; you cannot double major, but you can complete the second major separately, as if you were doing a second bachelor’s degree. The average undergrad takes about 30 credits a year, so 36 extra credits would - in theory - take you one additional year if you overloaded elsewhere or took some summer classes. But given that computer engineering is already a a pretty intensive major that may take you over 4 years, even at Tech, your time to degree might extend even longer than anticipated.

You can, indeed, minor at GT. There is a minor in computer science - media track. [url=http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/students/ugrad/minors/CS_Media2.pdf]See here](http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/13f.php).
