Dual Degree/Double Major Requirements
Dual Degree/Double Major Requirements
In certain cases students may be able to complete the requirements for more than one academic major through either a double major or a dual degree program of study.
A double major program of study combines two major fields of study within the same degree program. Students completing a double major program of study are awarded a single degree with two majors. Completion of a double major program requires that students complete a minimum of 121 semester hours.
A dual degree program of study combines two majors from distinct degree programs. Any combination of major fields of study involving degree programs in more than one college is a dual degree program even if both degrees bear the same title. Students completing a dual degree program are awarded two distinct degrees. Completion of a dual degree program requires that the students complete a minimum of 140 total semester hours.
Certain major combinations are not appropriate and are not permitted by the colleges. Students interested in a double major or dual degree program of study must consult the offices of the
appropriate colleges and/or independent school to determine whether the desired combination of majors is permitted. If the combination is permitted, the college offices will assist the students in formally declaring the degrees/majors and will provide the students with major sheets for both of the degrees/majors showing the course requirements to be satisfied for both majors. The students must complete all requirements for both degrees/majors.
Students are required to file a graduation application for each degree/major program of study. Students must officially declare any degree/major in time to meet the graduation application deadline for the semester in which they expect to complete the program of study.
