Double Major

Students may enroll in a program leading to a double major. A student may complete a double major by completing one type of baccalaureate degree (e.g., a Bachelor of Science) and electing to concurrently pursue two majors of that type of degree. A student must complete a double major simultaneously. In order to complete a double major students must satisfy all requirements for both majors, including general education requirements across schools if applicable. Courses common to both majors may be counted toward the requirements of each major. Courses that are required or are electives in one major may be used to fulfill electives in the other major, however, the double major must contain coursework of a minimum of 150 credit hours. Student completing a double major will receive one diploma with both major fields of study noted on the transcript. To declare a double major, students must be advised by faculty in both academic disciplines and complete the Application for Double Major form.

Double Degree

Students may enroll in a program leading to a double degree. A student may complete a double degree by completing two types of baccalaureate degrees (e.g., a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Business Administration). A student must complete a double degree simultaneously. In order to complete a double degree students must satisfy all

requirements for both majors, including general education requirements across schools if applicable. Courses common to both majors may be counted toward the requirements of each major. Courses that are required or are electives in one major may be used to fulfill electives in the other major, however, the double degree must contain coursework of a minimum of 150 credit hours. Students completing double degrees will receive two diplomas. Both degrees will be noted on the transcript. To declare a double degree, students must be advised by faculty in both academic disciplines and complete the Application for Double Degree form.

Multiple Concentrations

Students may choose to complete multiple concentrations within the same academic degree program. In order to complete multiple concentrations, students must satisfy all required courses for each concentration, including specified general education requirements across schools, if applicable. In addition to the completion of these required courses, students must earn the total number of credits required in the first concentration and they also must take a minimum of 15 additional hours for each concentration, or the stipulated amount of hours for the concentration in that discipline, as is applicable. Multiple concentrations will be noted on the transcript.

To declare multiple concentrations, students must complete the “Application for Multiple Concentrations” form. After declaring multiple concentrations, students must be advised by the appropriate faculty in each of the academic specialty areas, if applicable.

If a student would like to take 15-18 hours in a discipline or major outside of his/her academic degree program, the student should pursue the appropriate academic minor.

Academic Minors Policy

I. Academic Minors

An academic minor allows students to expand and broaden their educational experience by exploring a particular subject or subjects in sufficient depth to gain competency. By completing a minor, a student can become familiar with an additional area of study which will supplement the expertise gained in the major. In the case of an interdisciplinary minor, the student will have had the opportunity to learn about a particular theme or focused area of inquiry or study.

Each minor has a particular set of curricular goals and student learning outcomes which are determined by the school or unit which offers the minor. By following the prescribed courses of study in the minor, a student must master these curricular outcomes.

GGCGUIDELINES

2) At least 9 hours of upper level courses must be included in the coursework for the minor, subject to all other guideline restrictions.

3) Courses taken to satisfy core Areas A through E may not be counted as coursework in the minor. 4) No more than one half of the credit hours in the minor can be duplicative. (See example below.) 5) Courses from Area F may be counted as duplicative courses for the minor.

6) If a course in the minor requires a pre-requisite, the pre-requisite must be a course that is required either in the general education sequence, the minor itself, or the student’s major.

Example:

A student is majoring in English and following the Writing and Rhetoric Track. One of the requirements of the Writing and Rhetoric Track is the following:

Choose Three Courses at the 3000-4000 level from any School (9 hours)

This same student also chooses to minor in History. The requirements for a minor in History stipulate that 18 hours of History must be taken including the three courses listed below:

History 4990 Senior Capstone Seminar (3 credits)

History 4810 Studies in Historical Texts and Modern Perceptions of the Past (3 credits) History 3710 History of Business in America, Britain, Japan (3 credits)

Thus, the student majoring in English and following a Writing and Rhetoric Track could take History 4990, History 4810 and History 3710 and use these 9 hours to satisfy 9 hours of the History minor and also to satisfy the 9 hour requirement to “Choose Three Courses at the 3000-4000 level from Any School (9 hours)”. These 9 hours represent duplicative credit.

II. Other Guidelines

A. The School offering the minor will be responsible for the following areas:

1. Appropriate Curricular Approvals. A School seeking to offer a minor will request approval for the minor through the appropriate institutional channels and receive approval before offering the minor. The minor must be approved through the college’s curriculum review process; subsequent approval must be obtained from the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs. The USG must be notified of the addition of a minor in a discipline with an approved major. The addition of a minor in a discipline that does not have an approved major must be approved by the USG.

2. Requirements. Determining requirements for the minor shall be the responsibility of the School. 3. Grade Point Average. Grade point average requirements for the minor, if any will be determined by

the School.

4. Graduation eligibility. Verifying clearance for graduating with a minor shall be the responsibility of the School.

5. Interdisciplinary Minor. An interdisciplinary minor will be handled by the School designated to offer the minor in consultation with appropriate faculty from the other areas. This School also must obtain the appropriate curricular approvals, including the curriculum committees and subsequent approval from the Deans of the other schools and the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs. B. Mentoring/Advising

1. Selection of a Minor. A student may select a minor in consultation with his/her assigned faculty mentor. The student may consult with a faculty member in the minor field, but the faculty mentor remains the primary contact for program plan advising.

2. Advising. The Schools that sponsor minors will prepare program plan sheets to be used by faculty mentors and students.

1. Banner. The Registrar will build minors into CAPP.

2. Graduation Application. The Registrar shall be responsible for adding an option for minor on the application for graduation.

3. Student Transcript. Listing the minor and date completed on the student transcript will be the responsibility of the Registrar.

4. Completion of Requirements. After applying for graduation, if a student fails to complete the requirements for the minor but otherwise meets the requirements for graduation, the student may choose to graduate without the minor.
