Concurrent Majors
A concurrent majors program is one in which the requirements for at least two majors are completed concurrently or simultaneously, before graduation. Upon completion of all requirements, a diploma for each of the majors is awarded at the same graduation time. Requests for a concurrent major or majors can be made in LionPath via "Update Academics" at the earliest, during the entrance-to-major semester, after notification of admission to the major. Students should begin the process by consulting with their adviser, as proper planning leads to a timelier commencement. However, there are certain combinations of majors that are not allowed due to significant overlap in degree requirements.
