[Oacrao-l] Double Dipping

[Kristie Luke]

Hi,

At Southeastern, we require the student to make up the hours when double-dipping in the major or minor.     We do allow students to use some general education courses for both gened and the major/minor.   Here is what we have printed in the catalog:

Multiple Majors.   A student may earn more than one undergraduate major, including major-minors, by satisfying the requirements of each major program and completing a minimum of 30 unduplicated semester credit hours for each major.

Multiple Minors.  When the same course(s) are required in both the major and the minor, two majors or two minors, the course(s) must be replaced with an equal number of hours from either of the two areas.

General Education and Major/Minor Requirements.   A maximum of ten semester hours of credit used in meeting the requirements in the major field may be used to satisfy the requirements in general education. A maximum of three semester hours of credit used in meeting the requirements in the minor field may be used to satisfy the requirements in general education. When the same courses are required in both the major or minor and general education in excess of the amounts listed previously, the excess courses must be replaced with an equal number of hours from the major or minor area(s).

Hello Everyone,

We are reviewing our policy on what we call "double dipping".  For students double majoring, what do you do if there is an overlap in course requirements? Do you require the student take an additional course to substitute the requirement in the 2nd major?  For example: chemistry major requires Physics I but physics major also requires Physics I - does a student double majoring in chemistry and physics have to take an additional course?  Same goes for students with a major and minor with an overlap in course requirements - do you require them to substitute an additional course for their minor?

Thanks,
