Joint Engineering Program between Emory/GT

<p>I woke up this morning and I was thinking about this. To graduate in 2.5 years from Emory (not to mention with a BBA) is going to be quite difficult. Hear me out:</p>

<p>Assuming all your APs and transfer credit count (Emory doesn’t always give credit for transfer courses if there’s not an exact course equivalency. Also, if any of those courses counted towards HS graduation, they won’t count at Emory) then you’ll start with 54 college credit hours. Under the new GERs, even if your transfers/APs count for as many of them as possible, there are still 5 classes that you’ll have to take at Emory (Fr. Seminar, 1 language, 3 writing requirements). The B school does help fulfill some GERs there, but some you have to take in the College. On top of that, the 4 prereqs for the B school. So even now, we’re at a full year before you can be admitted to the B school. And this is assuming you can actually get all of those classes during your first year, which isn’t impossible, but could be challenging. Then once you’re in the B school, you have 2 full years of course work. </p>

<p>I’m not trying to be discouraging, only realistic. In a best scenario situation, you’re probably looking at 3 years plus a summer. If this is what you really want to do, by all means go for it. Only, realize that it might take you longer than you realize, so for financial reasons, make sure you consider that possibility. Definitely meet with an academic adviser through the office of UG education when you get to campus. They’ll be able to help you out a lot. Good luck</p>
