A student pursuing a double major must complete all university and college requirements. If both majors are in the
same college, the student must complete all department/curricular requirements for each major. If one major is in one
college and the other is in another college, the student must meet all requirements for each major. A list of courses
required for completion of the second major must be approved by the advisor for that curriculum. (Texas
A&M University Student Rule 14.3.3)
Each major offered at Texas A&M University has its own unique program requirements. To determine the specific
program requirements a student will need to complete in order to earn a baccalaureate degree with two majors, please
contact the academic departments or colleges which offer the majors. Some degree programs may limit or not permit
pursuit of double majors. Students may not pursue more than two majors concurrently in a single degree program.
