As a general rule, a major consists of at least 30 credits of course work in a discipline, but specific requirements are set by the department. If a student elects to seek a second major, the requirements stipulated for each major program must be satisfied. The requirements for each major are established by the appropriate academic department and are subject to modification.
Students interested in a second major are urged to consult with the appropriate department chairperson or program director concerning current requirements for the major, necessary prerequisites, and the acceptability of any transfer credits.
Once a decision is made to pursue a second major, it is the student`s responsibility to file a Declaration of Major form in the department that offers the major. The double major is recorded on the student`s transcript.
