Double-Counted Courses

A double-counted course is one which may be used to satisfy requirements of two different programs/majors/minors/etc. In order to provide a degree of flexibility for students who wish to complete a second major and/or minor while maintaining the integrity of the academic programs, the policy for double-counting of courses is established as follows:

  • A maximum of three courses may count towards both the student’s General and Liberal Education core and their first major. 
  • Courses cannot be double-counted within a major. 
  • For a second major at the Baccalaureate level, a minimum of six courses must be taken beyond those that are double-counted with the first major.
  • For a first minor, a minimum of three courses must be taken beyond those that are double-counted with the first major.
  • For a second minor, a minimum of three courses must be taken beyond those that are double-counted with the first major.
