Double Major

Double Major

Students with two or more majors must identify which major is considered the first major. The first major will determine how the University Studies general education requirements are applied. Specifically, first major courses (i.e. courses coming from subject codes associated with the first major) cannot apply to University Studies clusters. 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 first major. In this case the other major will be considered the first major and the University Studies cluster restrictions will apply accordingly.
