<p>It’s not as simple as, “Oh, if they’re both BA’s you can finish in four years.” This is only to differentiate between double major and dual degree.</p>
<p>The BA Studio Art major has 64 major specific units required. This is in addition to 32 GE units (assuming Cat 6 and Diversity overlap) and 12 foreign language units. The BA Communications degree has 48 major specific units required. This adds up to 156 units total. </p>
<p>Assuming the standard 18 unit load per semester each semester with no summer classes, the typical student has a max credit capacity 144 units. Therefore, if femmefatale wishes to finish both degrees in 4 years, she will need to overload to 20 credits for six semesters (6 x 2 = 12) or 12 credits over the summer take summer classes.</p>
