Double Major Program

What is a Double Major?


Double Major is a program that allows students who have achieved superior success in their associate or undergraduate programs to successfully pass the courses in a second program that has similar content to their main program and thus receive a double diploma. For example, a student studying health management (first major), a student studying social work (second major) or a student studying midwifery (first major) can pass the courses in nursing (second major) and thus earn the diploma of both programs. In short, a double major offers undergraduate students the chance to graduate from two different undergraduate programs.
