Dual majors?

So I only have a BSEE, but I still took as many computer science electives as I could. This was a huge + for my career, understanding both digital hardware and SW, and being able to design both.

I would like to do something like this. I would assume that most technology-based schools have programs in both of these categories, but would it have to take an extra year to finish both the majors? I will probably be transferring 3 AP sciences, 1 AP math, and one in pretty much all other subjects. I know I am only a freshman at a moment but I figure its never too early to start looking at things such as this... not to mention i only have 24ish days left in my freshman year.
