Admission to the major requires completion of a set of courses known as preparation for the major. Applicants are admitted to pre-major status until requisite courses are satisfactorily completed. See majors .
A major consists of a group of coordinated upper-division courses and shall be designated as schoolwide, departmental, interdepartmental, or individual. Each course applied toward the major and preparation for the major must be taken for a letter grade unless otherwise stipulated.
A major consists of a minimum of 40 upper-division units.
Students must complete their major with a scholarship grade-point average of at least 2.0 (C) in all courses in order to remain in the major.
See majors for more details.
Double majors between the school and other academic units are permitted. Students must be able to complete the proposed double major within the 216-unit limit.
Students may choose to pursue a minor to complement their major program of study. Minors consist of no fewer than seven courses (28 units) and no more than nine courses (36 units). Some minors also have admission requirements.
