Double Major or Minor in Different College

Minors seem to be fairly easily to do, you just take the required courses and then declare a major (not sure about CNR).

A double major in another college is called a Simultaneous Degree. They seem to be more difficult because you have to complete the additional requirements of the college (although there ought to be some overlap).

Look at Letters and Science’s humanities requirements and then look at CNR’s. Try to see what courses will count for both requirements.

Then see what the major requirements are in CNR. That way you will know all the courses you will need to take for your Major in CNR and L&S, as well as the humanities requirements. Then you will be able to figure out how many courses you need to take, and be able to figure out how many electives you can take.

As for the process you need to look at all the forms that L&S and CNR have and look for simultaneous degree forms. You will probably need a certain GPA for them to accept you (depends on college, but the better the GPA, the more likely it will work out).

Good luck.
