Major

A major is an orderly sequence of specialized courses within an academic discipline that leads to a baccalaureate degree. The requirements for majors vary and are found in the specific academic units responsible for the major. Majors should include a minimum of 30.0 semester hours and usually range from 30-39.0 hours. (These ranges may vary in some degree programs because of national accreditation or professional certification requirements.) A minimum average of “C” in the major is required for graduation in specific disciplines. In addition, the academic unit responsible for the major may require the student to repeat any major course where a grade below “C” was earned. Some majors are subject to additional admission requirements and enrollment limitations.
