Hey,

I was responding to someone asking about viability of double-majoring in music and something in comm. Below is what I wrote:

"Whether you can get the correct answer depends if the admission person really knows much about NU’s policy of granting two majors from two different schools. I’d say you may also want to talk to the deans/associate deans of the schools you are interested in.

Double-majoring was very popular for some reason among the students from Hong Kong when I was there (I am from there too). Almost everyone of us did it. The favorite double among us was industrial engineering + econ. But one of us, if I remember correctly, did double-major in econ and social policy (which I think is in school of ed). So that’s a double between school of ed and school of art sci even though there’s not an official 5-yr program between them. I think music+engg is a harder combo than music+communication, so it seems to me what you want is very possible."

I got accepted to NU as BME major but switched to chemE once I got there(it’s very easy; all I did was just filling out some short form and got some signatures). After 1 year or so, I added env engg as my second major; it was very easy.
