Double Majors

A double major is two different majors in the same degree, such as History and English majors for a bachelor of arts degree. The double major is earned when the requirements for each major are satisfied, and the requirements for the degree are completed. It is sometimes possible to count the same course twice, once in each major, to satisfy major requirements.

Students can declare a double major by completing the "Change of Major" form in the Office of Academic Advising, 106 New College.

Dual Degrees

A graduate of any program may receive the baccalaureate degree of any other program by completing the additional studies required in that program.

The minimum resident requirement is 30 semester hours. Courses taken in residence at the University of Georgia for the purpose of meeting program requirements for one degree may be counted toward the resident requirement for the second degree. (Students not enrolled at the University for a period of five years or more must complete 30 semester hours in residence for the second degree in addition to the courses taken to satisfy the first degree.) Individual schools and colleges within the University may impose additional resident requirements. Students pursuing an additional major within the same degree objective are considered to be enrolled for a double major.
