The Academic Major and Minor

All undergraduate students are required to complete an academic major, which must be formally declared no later than the published deadline in the applicable Academic Calendar in the second-semester of sophomore year.

Students have the option of completing a minor(s) or an additional major(s), each of which should be formally declared no later than the second semester of junior year. While more than one area of major or minor study is permitted, courses may not be double-counted for more than one area of concentration without department chair approval. If a student elects to major/minor in two disciplines that have certain common requirements, an appropriate number of electives must be added in one of the two disciplines. The specific requirements of the major and the minor are provided elsewhere in this catalog.
