My University offers a lot of combination degrees. Other than Eng Chem, we have Engineering Physics, Biomedical Computing, Engineering Math (Combined with Comp Sci or Mechanical or Electrical Engineering), Environmental Life Science…

I have friends who graduated from a Life Science Degree and then have gone back to do a Comp Sci Degree. Another friend just graduated from Biochemistry degree and is now doing a Chemical Engineering Degree. A third friend is did his Chemistry degree… like 8 years ago and is back to do a Chemical Engineering degree. Antoher friend graduated from Biomed Computing and has gone to another school to persue an associates degree in computing. I have many friends that graduated from one degree and have gone to do an associates degree.

They tell me that what they learn at the Associates degree in College is more hands on than the theoretical knowledge the learnt in University. They feel now, that they are more marketable, because they now have this extra boost.

Double and triple degrees are all the rage these days. It shows that you are versatile and that you can do more than one thing. It opens more doors as now you can work in two fields. It’s also impressive. It means u’ve done a lot of school.

Many people do a Science Degree with Economics. It shows that you have the analytical skill of a science student… AND the skills of a business person. Others do a combination with computer science as it shows you have essential computer skills.

I don’t think it’s weird to do an extra degree. People do it now to get ahead.
