Simultaneous Majors -
Description and Rates

Simultaneous Majors
Beginning in the Spring 2003 semester, an undergraduate student may pursue two majors simultaneously, thereby allowing better registration access in both areas of study.  The student must follow all procedures, meet all requirements and pay all fees and charges associated with both majors. 

Eligibility
Simultaneous majors are only available for undergraduate students who have completed at least 30 semester hours of course work in residence at UT Austin, and who have proper approval from both deans. 

Billing Scenarios

• Both majors in the same college or school, not in the flat rate tuition pilot program.  Students will be assessed tuition, mandatory fees, course fees, and program and service related fees for both majors.

• Majors in different colleges or schools, neither in the flat rate tuition pilot program.  Students will be assessed tuition, mandatory fees, course fees, and program and service related fees for both majors.

• Both majors in the same flat rate tuition pilot program college.  Students will be assessed the appropriate flat rate amount. 

• One major in a flat rate tuition pilot program and one major in a non-flat rate college.  Students will be assessed the appropriate flat rate amount and program and service related fees for the major not in the flat rate college.

• Majors in different flat rate tuition pilot program colleges.  Students will be assessed the appropriate flat rate Natural Sciences amount and the equivalent of Liberal Arts program and service related fees.
