How do I freaking manage a dual degree?!?!?

Yes, it would be extremely difficult to major in both and graduate in less than five years. My middle son majored in Biomedical engineering and minored in mechanical engineering at another university These majors have more common classes than do astronomy and nuclear engineering. With 59 AP credits, he was able to graduate in four years, but he had to take 15-20 credits a semester. I’d consider Astronomy with a nuclear engineering minor. Then plan on a nuclear engineering masters degree.

BTW, Michigan’s graduate nuclear engineering department is just outstanding, ranked 1st by US News. My oldest son is starting his second year as an Aerospace engineering PhD student. He took Intermediate Plasma Physics (NERS 571) from the department last year and plans on taking Introduction to Computational Plasma Physics (NERS 574) in the fall.
