Timeline for Completion

Students work with advisors from both majors to create a detailed course plan that accounts for requirements in both schools.

Admission

Students should declare the double degree by approximately 65–75 credits to allow sufficient time for advising and completion of requirements.

Candidates must meet the admission requirements of both schools.

Plan ahead. Because the double degree includes requirements from both schools, early advising can help you build an efficient course plan and stay on track for completion.
