Pursuing a double major in two different schools

[notrichenough]

<p>There is a difference between two majors and two degrees:</p>

<p>

Second Baccalaureate Degree. At times the University confers a second baccalaureate degree upon candidates who have completed requirements for the second degree.</p>

<p>The following specifications for a second baccalaureate degree apply:</p>

<ol>
<li>The student must meet admission and progression requirements for the second degree, and must have received formal approval to pursue the second degree from both deans.</li>
<li>All requirements for the second degree must be fulfilled.</li>
<li>The additional requirements for the second degree must include a minimum of 24 semester hours beyond those required for the first degree.</li>
<li>No course that satisfies a general education, major, minor, cognate, or requirement other than a free elective for the first degree may be applied to the major field of the second degree.</li>
<li>The student must file a separate degree application for the second degree with the appropriate college or school.</li>
</ol>

<p>Under this policy a student may apply for two degrees at one time or separately. In either case, the student receives two diplomas. It should be noted that a second major does not by itself lead to the conferral of a second degree.</p>

<p>Second Major. In some degree programs, a student may elect a second major. Normally, second majors are possible only in degree programs with similar general education requirements. The second major option is not available in all colleges.</p>

<ol>
<li>The student must meet admission and progression requirements for the second major.</li>
<li>The student must have received approval from both deans for a second major.</li>
<li>All requirements for the second major must be fulfilled.</li>
<li>All general education and special departmental requirements normally associated with the second major must be fulfilled.</li>
<li>In cases where the first major and the second major lead to different degrees, the student must designate one as the official degree of record. A second major eliminates the cognate requirement; however, special departmental requirements normally completed as part of the cognate are not waived. Fulfillment of the requirements for a second major are indicated on the student’s official transcript upon graduation. No notation for a second major is placed on the official transcript for course work completed after graduation.

<p>The other thing to check is whether SC has a credit limit for in-state tuition. Many public schools have a credit limit, after which you pay OOS tuition even if you are in-state.</p>
