A student pursuing a major in two separate colleges is considered a simultaneous major or dual-degree seeker in most cases. An exception to this would be a student who is pursuing BA majors in both the College of Natural Sciences and Liberal Arts. In this case, the student would only receive one BA degree with two majors denoted on the transcript.

A student who is currently a student in only one college would have to gain admission via the internal transfer/application process to the other college. A dual-degree seeker must complete at least 24 additional hours beyond the original required hours for the degree that requires the most hours. For example, if total hours required for the degree is 120 hrs then a dual-degree student would be required to have at least 144 hrs to graduate with two degrees.
