Im double majoring in chemistry and physics. How is my credit hour limit calculated?
The credit hours for the degree requiring the lowest number of hours would be the base requirement, and to that number would be added any degree requirements that are additional to the second major. Thus, you would have to complete your degree within three hours of the minimum number of hours required to complete a double major in chemistry and physics. This number would be less than the sum of the hours required for each degree individually, since there is bound to be some overlap in courses (in the general education core curriculum, for example). Your institution would determine what that minimum number of hours is.
