Students may choose to double major by declaring a secondary major in another discipline within the College of Professional Studies or a major in another college that is available to any undergraduate student. A student may not declare a secondary major without first declaring their primary major.
Typically, the first major that a student declares will be treated as their primary major unless the student specifically requests otherwise. Declaring a second major does not alter core requirements associated with the primary major, and no new core requirements will be added for the secondary major.
To complete a second major, a student must complete all credits required for that major. Declaring a second major may mean that the student will need to complete more credits than the original degree or major requires.
Students who major in General Studies, are not permitted to select a secondary major due to the interdisciplinary nature of this program.
Multiple majors, regardless of college, will appear on a student’s transcript; however, a student will receive one diploma. Students who have completed all the requirements for two or more degrees – i.e., BA and BIS, BA and BS, or BIS and BS – must choose which degree to take – unless they have completed 43 or more additional credits beyond the greater of the two program credit requirements, in which case they may receive two degrees and two diplomas.
