It is not possible to apply after admission. Admission to the program is highly competitive and applicants are required to demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language and to have advanced placement in calculus. The main advantage of the dual degree option is having the experience of two undergraduate schools concurrently. One of the disadvantages is the reduction in the number of free electives students can take, a consideration for those who wish to expand, not limit, the breadth of their liberal arts education. You can apply for the dual degree at the end of the freshman year or the middle or the end of the sophomore year.
Careful planning is an important part of doing a dual degree.
Students interested in this option can discuss it with any assistant dean in the College Office. A student pursuing a double major satisfies the requirements for two separate departments in the College. For further information, make an appointment to speak with an advisor in Logan Hall, 898-6341.
