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

I have seen students double major through some combination of taking classes over the summer, and taking an extra year. Engineering is generally considered to be a difficult major (or range of majors), which suggests that expecting to take much more than 15 credits per semester seems like a bad idea. This means that if you need 70 extra credits, it is 30 in your extra year, plus 40 spread across 4 summers. This is still a lot.

First of all, what would be the financial implications if you needed to both take classes over the summer and also go for five full years?

Secondly, you might want to seriously consider majoring in one of your passions, and minoring or just taking classes in the other. I also like @GoBlue81’s suggestion.
