A double major consists of two majors which allow the student to earn the same degree, either a B.A. or B.S. degree, within the college. The student must complete the requirements for both majors and whatever other course work is needed to complete 128 units. A second bachelor’s consists of two majors that culminate in two different degrees, for example, the first degree within the college is a B.A. and the second degree is any of the following; B.S, B.M., B.F.A., B.Arch. or B.L.Arch. A second bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 32 additional units above the 128 unit minimum. In some cases, more than the 32 additional units may be needed in order to successfully complete the requirements set forth for each degree.
