Double Major To obtain a double major, a student must satisfy all of the requirements of both majors; earn a GPA of at least 2.00 in both majors; and satisfy all other College graduation requirements. Students must indicate one of the majors as a primary major. Students will receive a single diploma designating the degree associated with the primary major and be listed under the primary major at Commencement. However, both majors will be listed on the transcript. Undergraduate students in the Winston School of Education & Social Policy with a major in Education must select a second major in another discipline as a double major.
Students who wish to have two degrees at Commencement need to meet the requirements for a double degree rather than a double major (see below). Students adding a second major must declare their intention to pursue either a double major program or a double degree program on the form described below in the section on Declaring or Changing Majors or Minors.
Second or Double Degree Students wishing to be granted separate degrees in two fields of study can do so in any two majors from different fields with the same exceptions as for a double major. Double degrees may be either the same degree (B.A. and B.A. or B.S. and B.S.) or different degrees (B.A. and B.S.). To obtain a double degree, students must complete the equivalent of an additional year of full-time study, that is, no fewer than 155 credits. Additionally, they must satisfy all the requirements of both majors; earn a GPA of at least 2.00 in both majors; and satisfy all other College graduation requirements.
