What would be a good minor to pair with a Computer Engineering major?

How do i find demanded Major subject after 4 years of my education, I will get good Corporate Job?

College Education cost is growing. 4 Year degree course cost is around 200k. Once We graduate, we have 200k debt plus interest. If we don't get good job, Repayment is very very difficult. #computer-software #engineering #computer

Do all Engineering fields require 4 or 5 years of college?

Some colleges we've visited have leaned more towards 5 years, suggesting first year is when you really are deciding on a Major or considering changing course. Has that been anyone's experience? #engineering

I'm debating between Biomedical Engineering and Dentistry. Would most of my core classes for either contribute to my decision for a major?

I've done well in all of my STEM classes. I'm leaning towards Engineering, but haven't quite decided. I've started considering Pre Dentistry to see where my interests take me. #engineering #biomedical #dentistry #dental

What can you do with a degree in political science?
