My Four-Year Plan
In my time at UW, I have completed a B.S. double major in
Chemical Engineering
and
Chemistry,
with certificates in
Mathematics
and
Biology in Engineering.
There are a multitude of ways to complete these majors and certificates. Here's how I got it done. I also note
that I had a lot of help from my high school curriculum, and was fortunate to be able to take a large number of
college credit–awarding classes.
