Here’s my take on this - pure speculation on my part.

The double majors are almost certainly arts and sciences majors who are not pre-professional. There is such a high percentage of the school that is either Nursing (obviously a unique major), Business (which doesn’t as often lend itself to double majoring), Fine Arts (these majors are highly specialized and in some cases, like Music Theatre, require so many credits and are actually interdisciplinary already that a double major is impossible or unnecessary). An aside - I can very much relate to your D’s desire - my D was an English/philosophy major and I was a psych/Spanish major.
