Double Majors

A student pursuing a double major satisfies the requirements for two separate major programs within the College but earns a single degree, the B.A.

Students who wish to double major may do so by applying for, and completing the requirements for, each major. Students interested in double majoring should consult with their pre-major advisor.

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.

The total graduation requirement for a student who is double majoring is calculated by adding 20 to the number of c.u. required for the larger major (maximum of 36 c.u.).

Students in the Class of 2010 and later who are double majoring may double count two courses, one from each major, toward the Sector Requirement.
