Is it wise to double major or minor in another discipline?
Double majoring is an exciting option. In general, it requires an additional year of study since it expects that the student meet the requirements of both majors, and it requires an additional 30 credits. Double majoring should be compared with the alternative of working toward the B./MS, which requires the same number of credits. Minoring in another discipline is often possible without additional credits. BME students find it very attractive to minor in mathematics. The requirements for a minor are determined by the department in which the minor is offered. Students should confer with their BME advisor as well as the minor department.
