Dual Majors

A student may select dual majors from related majors.  Dual majors require completion of the requirements in both majors.  If the requisite course is waived in either or both majors, a course substitution for the requisite course it is not required.  The student may receive the degree in the dual majors on completion of the course requirements for the remaining courses. International relations is excluded as a dual major except in Geneva in combination with the human resources development degree.  Counseling and M.S. degree areas are not eligible for the dual major option.

The following policies apply to dual majors:

1. Dual majors may require more than 36 credit hours for completion of the degree if requisite courses are not waived.*

2. The dual majors must be declared before the student has completed 6 credit hours of coursework.

3. A student who has declared dual majors may transfer into the degree program only courses that are equivalent to required courses.

4. A student who earns two grades of C in a major will not meet dual major requirements in that major, unless one of the C grades is repeated with a grade of B- or better.   

*The US Department of Veteran's Affairs requires special approval for students utilizing veterans' educational benefits to enroll in more than 36 credit hours. Students should request approval on the Program Option Request form.
