<p>I’m a dual-degree BME/Econ major. If you plan everything out early and stick to the plan, you should be able to graduate in four years. Since Econ classes overall aren’t very challenging (esp compared to EE), it won’t be that much more difficult for you content wise. </p>
<p>The econ program is decent here. As a standalone major I’ve seen students have a difficult time getting into good grad schools and finding quality job placement. But you will have a much better shot if you do EE as well.</p>
<p>I’d recommend it. You’re paying 4 years of tuition so might as well get the most out of it, even if it means spending an extra semester to complete your coursework.</p>
