Double Majors [Education] Law and Legal Definition
A double major consists of two majors within the same school or college. A student with a double major earns one Bachelor’s degree with two majors. While students usually only declare one major, they can also declare multiple majors within the same bachelor degree program. Double majors must fulfill all of the requirements for both majors with no overlapping courses. Pursuing a double major is an option for students interested in more than one major area. It allows students to either deepen or diversify their course of study. Planning for a double major is much more complicated than planning for a single major. Double majors or dual majors consist of two majors attached to a single degree, as opposed to two separate degrees each with its own field of study.
