Kettering University, Arizona State, CSUs, UCs, and quite a few others

#

One of my friends studies Mechatronics Engineering at Kettering

Pretty much any school that offers both degrees will let you double major or at least minor in business.

UC Berkeley is an exception because their undergrad business program is it's dedicated school and a lot strict in general. What other schools said no? Also are you only looking for schools in Californiaor anywhere in the U.S. is fine?

Most schools should allow for it

#

The double major policy where I went is that both departments heads and your boss at your co-op have to sign a sheet

#

Kettering University

#

You have to do ~8 internships to graduate, so your employer has to sign off on your major choice

#

Most schools are far more lenient about it

#

In either

#

Depending on your major

#

There are policies about employers having to provide major relevant work

#

I think transfers still have to do 5

#

If you want a transfer friendly school with mandatory co-op, Kettering might be a good fit

#

But I’d look more into places in state as well

#

Those are the only types of majors it has

#

Only Business, engineering, and CS majors

MIT has a joint minor that's inherently offered in conjunction with the business school and the engineering school - https://catalog.mit.edu/interdisciplinary/undergraduate-programs/minors/entrepreneurship-innovation/
Duke is super leninent about it, if you're an engineering student at Duke, you can get another dual degree or minor in whatever you want. We don't have a business degree, but we have a whole entrepreneurship/innovation center that offers a certificate which is more classes than a minor, less than a major: https://entrepreneurship.duke.edu/education/undergrad-certificate/
Northwestern shouldn't have any restrictions to my knowledg

"The Certificate taught me so much more than how to be an entrepreneur. Through engaging classes, thoughtful faculty members, diverse teams, and hand-on experiences, I’ve

It typically ranks T20 nationally for return on investment

#

And the job / grad school placement rate within 6 months of graduation is 99.9% most years

mb, you should look at northwestern too then lol

#

northeastern DEFINITELY, they're like the royalty when it comes to combined degrees, but i'll fact check myself

#

I majored in Computer Engineering there, it’s very rigorous and will test your willpower, but it’s worth it imo

#

You take 5 classes in an 11 week term to make room for co-op

#

that's valid

#

I had a friend who dual majored in Mechanical Engineering and Business Administration

#

At most schools you're going to find it difficult to double major as a transfer student if you haven't taken the pre reqs and/or the school doesn't count them for whatever reason

No, I did know someone who was an Industrial engineering and business dual major who was a transfer though

#

That’s fair enough

#

Same one I went to haha

#

It’ll probably be a safety if you have good grades

#

Flint, Michigan

#

It’s honestly not that bad, water has been fixed in most areas for a while now

#

And frankly the classes kept us busy enough to not really leave the campus area that much

#

Kettering’s academics are on par with UMich

#

True

#

Formula SAE and SAE AutoDrive are the most popular clubs there

#

The entrepreneurship club is also relatively big

#

But at UMich you’ll likely be able to have a bigger network

#

So UMich might be a good call if you can afford it and credits transfer

#

Id highly recommend it as well

#

Their admissions office should know

#

Or can at least direct you to the right people

#

It’s their job to help you get that info

#

Deans are typically very busy, best to start with AOs

#

It’s worth the effort

#

That’s fair enough, massive respect

#

I worked 50hrs/week during co-op terms to cover costs

#

This isn’t work study

#

Though I did do work study my senior year on top of that

#

Glad you were able to get something

#

My co-ops paid about 30/hr

#

So was making about 27-31k/year from co-op

#

That’s how I funded school

#

Also bought my own car

#

Engineering internships typically pay fairly well

#

I know GM pays $29-32/hr + a luxury apartment for co-ops

#

I’m sorry to hear that

#

I’m sure you’ll still be able to play this hand well

#

I have ADHD, so I get it

#

Nah, been off medication since 2016-2017
