What does second major mean?

In some colleges, you may have the option of pursuing majors in two departments, referred to as having a second or double major. A second major or double major between colleges is also possible. It generally requires the completion of all the University requirements, the requirements of the college of your first major, and the requirements of both majors.

• In general, a single course may not satisfy requirements for both majors.
• A supplementary major is an academic program, generally consisting of eight courses.
• It can be completed in addition to a major, but it cannot stand alone in qualifying a student for an undergraduate degree.
• Art as a second major in studio art, art history or design can help round out your knowledge and your body of work.

A|AH|D offers students the opportunity to study the world through the history and production of visual objects and images. Students gain Visual Literacy, which is the ability to read and speak through visuals. The visual images and objects we make and study represent all aspects of life and lived experiences.

Whether designing medical equipment, branding for a sports team, painting self-portraits, or studying artifacts from ancient civilizations, contextual knowledge and research give strength and meaning to our work. Students in our program find complementary second majors all over the university – from Anthropology to Gender Studies to Marketing to Engineering.

Reach out to the director of undergraduate studies or a faculty member in your area of concentration to discuss whether a double major is feasible and desirable.

What is the difference between first major and second major?

What is the difference between a single and double major? | Curtin University, Perth, Australia A single major concentrates on one area of specialisation, whilst a double major focuses on two areas of specialisation. A double major will allow a student to complete study in those two separate areas under the same award.

For example, someone wishing to gain a Bachelor of Arts degree will complete 24 units of study over 3 years full time. This is broken up into a series of 8 core Arts units, 8 units relating to their major and 8 units of free-choice (electives). If you wish to study a double major, your free-choice elective units would be replaced with those from the second major.

What is primary major and secondary major?

Secondary Majors – With a secondary major, you receive one degree, and only one major is listed on your diploma. A secondary major also requires the 180 minimum units to graduate and results in a single Bachelor’s degree. Only one major (your primary major) will appear on your diploma.

Your transcript will bear a notation indicating that you have also fulfilled the course requirements for your chosen secondary major. A secondary major allows you to fulfill the requirements for two different majors while using overlapping courses.
