I'm planning to get a BS and then an MS in computer science. To get the BS I have to take a certain number of course units, much more than is actually needed to fulfill the BS's requirements, and I'm not entirely sure what to fill those extra units with.

Which of these is more impressive?

  • A 2nd major in economics.
  • A 2nd major in management engineering.
  • 2 minors in any 2 of:
    • statistics
    • economics
    • management engineering
    • mathematics

  • Major in Economics
  • Minor in Maths/Stats
  • Minor in Econ
  • Major in Management Engineering
  • Minor in Management Engineering

I don't know exactly what management engineering is but it sounds like a made up subject.

Thanks!

Management engineering is things like optimization, stochastic modelling, and organization theory. I agree it might sound like a way of weaseling out of taking difficult courses.
