Multiple Majors

To earn multiple majors within the same Baccalaureate Degree classification, a student must:

• Complete all requirements in each major
• Complete all core courses for each major; and
• Complete a separate capstone course, senior comprehensive examination, or portfolio for each of the majors.

To earn a double major when the second major is not within the same Baccalaureate Degree classification as the first major, a student must:

• Obtain a double major form from the registrar office and petition their academic advisors for each major to receive authorization to complete a second major
• Complete all requirements in each major
• Complete all core courses for each major [Courses may not be duplicated between majors, with the exception of business foundation courses.]; and
• Complete a separate capstone course, senior comprehensive examination, or portfolio for each of the majors.

Note: pursuit of a second major will not mean conferral of a second degree – BA, BS, BM, etc.

Example: A student wants to pursue a dual major in Accounting (BA) and Finance (BS).  The student would obtain the double major form from the Registrar’s Office and would meet with the accounting academic advisor and the finance academic advisor for signatures.  In the course of this approval process, the student will identify the primary degree (BS or BA) and related major, which would be printed on the student’s diploma.
