The Major
All students must elect a standard major or develop a self-designed major. Ordinarily, students decide on a major by the end of the sophomore year.
At least half of the credits required in the major field for the bachelor’s degree must be taken at Carroll College. Exceptions require the approval of the major department chairperson and the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Students are not automatically accepted into all major programs of the College. A number of departments require that certain standards be met and that a formal application be filed. See specific requirements as listed in the academic programs of this catalog. To qualify for acceptance into the major department, the student must meet college standards as outlined in this catalog.
Double (or Triple) Majors
Undergraduate students who complete their degree program within a regular, continuous enrollment period and who fulfill the requirements for two or more majors will be awarded a single bachelor’s degree upon graduation. If the student is pursuing a Bachelor of Science program (e.g. Civil Engineering or Nursing), the B.S. will be the degree awarded and the second major will be listed as a component of that degree, even if it is a major that on its own typically results in a Bachelor of Arts degree.
