Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science
For the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, the choice of major determines the degree granted. Students declaring a major under the 2009-2010 Catalog may choose from the following options, or may double major (see MAJORS, DOUBLE.), or may design a Special Major (see MAJOR, SPECIAL PROGRAM.).
A student who completes a double major consisting of one major from the B.A. group and one major from the B.S. group must choose either the B.A. or the B.S. degree. The Curriculum Committee will designate the degree to be awarded to any student approved for a Special Major Program.
