Double Major

Double Major

Students with two or more majors must identify which major is considered the primary/first major. The primary/first major will determine how the University Studies general education requirements are applied. Specifically, primary/first major courses cannot apply to University Studies clusters. (For this purpose, major courses include any course with a subject  code that matches the major, plus any specific course required or used to meet major requirements, even if from another department.) Also, a few majors require an additional, specific Sophomore Inquiry course. If double majoring, the liberal studies major (which does not require University Studies general education requirements) cannot serve as the primary/first major. In this case the other major will be considered the primary/first major and the University Studies cluster restrictions will apply accordingly.
