Double Major and Dual Degree Information for College of Liberal Arts and Science (CLAS) Students

Beginning Fall 2004, the following guidelines will be strictly enforced for all students seeking a double major or dual degree in the CLAS:

1)     must already be admitted to one of the majors and have between 45 and 96 hours (not including AP, IB, dual enrollment, or overseas study credit)

2)     must have at least a 3.0 UFGPA at the time of submitting the application if at least one of the majors are in the CLAS.  However, if the student is seeking a double major or dual degree that includes two majors from the following list, a 3.5 GPA is required:

3)     must meet all Universal Tracking term 5 requirements for all CLAS majors.  If one of the majors is outside CLAS, applicants must get approval from the appropriate college

4)     must meet all other CLAS progression standards for both majors and demonstrate potential for success in both majors (successful completion of major and major-related courses without excessive W’s, grades less than C, or multiple repeats)

5)     must be able to complete the degree in a reasonable number of semesters; additional study is permitted only with Dean’s approval

6)     must have demonstrated a well articulated educational goal for which the double major or dual degree is necessary
