DOUBLE MAJOR
Students can choose to complete two majors within the business administration degree program. Declaring a double major will require you to complete at least 15 additional credits. Those credits must be from courses that are:
- Specifically required for your second major, and
- Different from those used to satisfy requirements for your first major.
Schedule a time to meet with your business advisor if you wish to declare a second business major.
