Second Majors

A second major is rare and must be approved by the supervisor of the Advisement Center. Students will be required to submit a petition that will be reviewed by the dean of the college. The second major proposal and approval process requires an evaluation of all university core and major requirements and a time-to-graduation analysis. The supervisor of the advisement center will assist interested students in this process. Courses used to satisfy the requirements of a student's major can also be used to satisfy the requirements of an approved second major, unless such is not permissted by the requirements of the proposed second major. Only one degree will be awarded, and only the primary major will be listed in the university commencement program. The primary major only will appear on the diploma.
