Engineering/Economics Double Major Feasible?

Engineering and Economics are in different schools. Majoring in engineering and minoring in econ is actually fairly common. The last time I checked, economics was one of the most popular minors for engineers. There are plenty of engineering students at UVa who are interested in more than a purely technical career. :)

A double major would be more difficult. I imagine how difficult would depend on how much AP/IB credit you are awarded when you arrive.

If humanities classes bore you, you would probably prefer an econ minor to a major.

You can read more about the Rodman Scholars perks on their website: [U.Va. Engineering Rodman Scholars Program](http://seas.virginia.edu/students/rodmans/)

Anyway, I’m sure some current students can chime in about what they think.
