Graduating with a Double Major

Students who wish to earn a degree with a double major must observe the following requirements:

1. The two majors may be in the same or different degree programs. The student must determine the primary major and satisfy the general studies requirement for the degree of that major. The other major is considered the secondary major.
2. All requirements for both majors must be met, including all upper division work, foreign language, and any additional requirements.
3. The department chairpersons of both major areas must approve the student's completion of the requirements for the major.
4. A second major may be earned in the same academic area, but no more than 9 upper division units may satisfy requirements in both majors.
