What is it?
A joint major is a two-track program of study. It provides the opportunity for a student to develop a wider range of interest than allowed by a single-discipline major. A joint major is distinguished from a double major. Whereas a double major includes all major requirements of the departments involved, a joint major consolidates the requirements of the cooperating departments.
A joint major program is developed by two cooperating departments and must adhere to the following guidelines:
- All core requirements of the University must be met.
- The student must have approval of both cooperating departments and have an advisor from each.
- Neither department will require as many credit hours in its portion of the joint major as it requires for a regular major.
- Neither department will reduce the credit hours required within its discipline by more than 6 credit hours.
- Neither department will reduce its related requisite hours by more than 6 credit hours.
- In situations where the majors are from departments normally granting different degrees (BA, BBA, BS and BTh), the student must select a primary major which will determine the single degree to be granted by the University, and then meet the requirements of that degree with a joint major.
- If both departments require a capstone experience, the student must complete only one of them.
- The student must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00 in both majors or a higher GPA if a department requires it.
For details, prospective joint majors should consult the catalog entry of the departments in which they have an interest and take care to follow #1 and #2 above. |
