University Academic Requirements
Majors and some interdisciplinary minors are described under their
various schools and colleges; other interdisciplinary and intercollege

Student-Designed Majors
See Special University Programs for requirements for a student-designed major.
Second Majors
Bachelor's degree students may choose to fulfill the requirements of
two dissimilar major programs, provided they obtain the approval of
their principal adviser and the dean(s) of the college(s) in which the
programs are offered, and comply as follows:
2. If the two majors have two distinct degrees, e.g., B.A., B.S., or some other designated degree, students must choose which of the two degrees is to be awarded and fulfill all requirements for that degree.
3. No more than 8 credits used to satisfy requirements for one major may be used as requirements for the other major.
Minors
Bachelor's degree students may earn a minor in any undergraduate
discipline designated by the University. A list of minors is available
from the advising coordinator in each college or school (or see the
program descriptions for each college or school in this catalog).
Students must consult with their major adviser and also the minor
supervisor. A minor typically consists of 20 credits with C- or better
and a 2.00 grade-point average in courses that the minor department
approves. Courses taken on the pass/fail basis may not be used for a
minor. No more than 8 credits used to satisfy major requirements may be
used for the minor. Students should declare an intent to earn a minor
as early as possible and no later than the end of the junior year.
During the final term, an application should be made to the dean to
have the minor shown on the academic record.
Options
Some degree programs offer a selection of options (e.g., art history
and art studio through the Department of Art and Art History). These
concentrations allow students to specialize within a discipline. The
choice of option is recorded on the student's transcript.
