Double Majors
..........

Double majors are permitted across colleges as well as within a college.
  1. The following stipulations apply to all double majors.
    When declaring more than one major, the student will designate one major as the primary major. This major determines the college within which the student is matriculating and the degree which will be conferred when all graduation requirements for the primary major have been met.  The primary major also determines the basic liberal studies requirements the student will follow. 
  2. All admission requirements for each college within which the declared majors are located must be met. This includes audition requirements where applicable.
  3. All graduation requirements for each major must be met when completing a double major. This includes particular Liberal Studies courses specified by each major and allied field requirements.
  4. All normal stipulations regarding coursework completed in residence and regarding completion of applicable major coursework at “C-” level or above apply to both majors. A "C-" grade is acceptable in a student's major providing the overall GPA in each major is at least 2.000. 
  5. No more that one half of the major field requirements of the second major may also have been counted toward the major field requirements of the primary major. 
  6. Courses taken as either an allied field or liberal studies requirement in the primary major may also be used to satisfy major field requirements of the second major.
  7. School of Education students are not eligible to double major.
