Students Pursuing a Double Major or Dual Degrees

A student who elects to pursue a double major must complete all required coursework for each program to ensure achievement of all learning outcomes, completing at least 120 credit hours.

A student who elects to pursue dual degrees must complete at least 120 hours for the first degree, an additional minimum of 36 hours at Marymount for the second degree, and required coursework for each degree.

A student who is a double major or pursuing a dual degree must successfully complete at least one internship. The replacement course for the second internship should be a 300- or 400-level course in one of the student’s disciplines. If a 300- or 400-level elective course is not available, then a course in a related discipline can be substituted. Students are advised to schedule an advisor meeting early in the academic planning process to discuss in which major to complete the internship. Approval for the substitution should be made by the chair and the associate dean in the related discipline.

A student electing to pursue a double major or dual degrees must file the appropriate form and secure an advisor in each program or degree. Forms for this purpose may be obtained from school offices.

The university cannot guarantee availability of all course requirements without scheduling conflicts when pursuing a double major or dual degrees.
