A double major refers to in-depth study in a second disciplinary major. Double majors are not linked to degree programs, and as such are available to students within and outside the academic unit offering the double major. Any Alfred University student may complete the requirements for a second academic major or field of study at the same time that they are working on a primary degree program. Students who complete a double major receive one degree listing their primary major and program, while acknowledgement of the second major appears on their transcript.
