Double counting refers to the practice of using one course to satisfy more than one requirement. The course must be one that has been approved for both requirements. Students should be aware that the policies governing double-counting vary from requirement to requirement (and from department to department, in the case of majors).

Double Counting Courses within the College Requirements |
|
| The Quantitative Data Analysis Requirement may be satisfied with a course that also satisfies a sector of the General Requirement or a major requirement. | The Quantitative Data Analysis, Formal Reasoning and Analysis, Cross Cultural Analysis, and Cultural Diversity in the U.S. Requirements may be may be double counted with other requirements in the General Education Curriculum (except for the Writing and Foreign Language Requirements) as well as with the Major.

Double Counting Major Courses and College Requirements |
|
| Students may double count as many major courses toward the General and/or Quantitative Data Analysis Requirement as their majors allow. | Students may double count no more than one course between the major and the Sector Requirements. Students with a double major may double count one course for each major. Students who are double majoring must have 18 unique courses between the two majors. Students who are triple majoring must have 24 unique courses among the three majors. Major departments may have additional rules limiting such double-counting. In any submatriculation program, a maximum of 4 course units at the graduate level may be included in both the B.A. and the M.A. degrees. Thus, the minimum number of course units for a submatriculation program is 36. These four courses may be part of the major requirements or the electives of the undergraduate program, but may not include courses in independent study. Some graduate programs may permit fewer than four courses to be double-counted. For students in the BA/JD submatriculation program, no more than 8 courses in all can be double-counted toward both degrees. |
