Double Majors

Students working toward a single bachelor’s degree (B.A. or a B.S. degree) may concurrently satisfy the requirements for two majors under the same catalog year and will be awarded one diploma with both majors indicated on the transcript. Since the requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees are different, a student completing a major with a B.A. and a major with a B.S. must satisfy the requirements for both the B.A. and the B.S. degrees and must use the same catalog year for both majors. Students may not pursue a BA/BS double major in the same major. Although both majors will be indicated on the transcript, only one diploma (B.A. or a B.S., at the student’s option) will be awarded. A double major does not require a minimum number of hours beyond those necessary for completing degree requirements (120 or more hours), while a second baccalaureate degree has specific minimum requirements.
