About Dual Majors

The integrated dual major allows students to link concepts across disciplinary boundaries. Dual-major options are limited to those combinations for which faculty from two majors have identified nine or more courses from each major, plus an additional one or two “capstone” or integrative courses, that specifically help students link the concepts learned in both majors. As with double majors, students pursuing dual majors complete the Bachelor of Science degree version of the college core curriculum and the Bachelor of Arts degree language requirement (if pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree), and there can be unlimited double counting between the core curriculum and major requirements. Fulfilling the college’s experiential education requirement (see page 32) provides an additional opportunity for supervised work linking the two areas of study. Currently, the following dual majors are offered within the College of Arts and Sciences:
