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.
