Multiple Major and Double Degree Policy

A multiple (double or triple) major  may be earned when a student completes two or more full majors, generally within the 120 hours required for a single degree. The specific major requirements of each major must be fulfilled. The diploma will indicate all majors. If the two or more degree programs are administered by different academic units, the major requirements of each academic program must be fulfilled. The general education requirements must be fulfilled as specified by the department or academic unit responsible for the primary major only. The double or multiple major is only available in B.A./B.A. or B.S./B.S. combinations.

A double degree may be earned when a student completes a minimum of 150 hours, completing the general education and major requirements for each of two majors. Students who earn a double degree will receive two diplomas simultaneously. If the two degree programs are administered by different academic units, the general degree requirements and major requirements of both academic units must be completed.

The B.A./M.D. dual degree program has different requirements and is subject to separate regulations. See the School of Medicine section of the catalog.

All dual degree programs must follow the established guidelines in the UMKC catalog.
