Student Academic Services

A second major does not entitle the student to two diplomas. In order to complete a second major, a student must fulfill requirements for both primary and secondary majors. The student will fulfill GEC requirements for only the primary major. The student will have to complete all Writing and Speaking Intensive requirements for the primary major, plus one Writing Intensive and one Speaking Intensive Course for the secondary major. Coursework may be shared between the two majors. For example, if a student is majoring in English and wants a second major in Communication Studies, and she completes a Speaking Intensive course in Communication Studies to meet one of her two Speaking Intensive requirements for her English degree, she can also use that course to fulfill her Speaking Intensive requirement for her second major in Communication Studies.
