Double Majors in BS in Business Administration Majors

  • Are you intrigued by more than one business discipline?  
  • Do you desire the ability to study more than one business field in depth?  
  • Will taking on a second business major open up additional career paths or opportunities?  

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please consider if a double major in BSBA programs may be right for you.

An undergraduate student may choose to have two majors from a subset of BSBA majors within the College of Business (Accounting, Business Analytics & Intelligence, Finance, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Management, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management).  

Students who have a strong motivation to pursue two majors and a 3.20 or higher GPA tend to be well-prepared for the academic rigor associated with a second major.

Undergraduate students who wish to double major in BSBA majors should meet the following requirements:

  • A student who has transferred into the degree-granting College of Business and has earned 75 or more credits may ask an advisor to add a second major from the BSBA programs.  
  • The business core courses apply to both majors.
  • Students must take all of the courses that are required for both majors. 
  • Double majors may not have free electives; they may utilize summer and J-term classes or extend their time to degree.
  • If there is overlap in this category between the two majors, then the common courses will apply to both majors. If a course is required for one major and an elective for the second major, then that course should be counted toward the major that requires the course.  
  • The second business major must have at least 21 credits of coursework over and above that of the first business major.
  • If there are not enough courses in the list of electives for either of the majors to take 21 unique credits, students should see an advisor and engage in the process to petition the COB Scholastic Standing Committee.
  • Students will receive one degree with the names of two majors on the transcript.  
  • It is not possible to choose three majors for one BSBA degree.
