Overview

Double (second) majors are also encouraged and supported. Numerous opportunities are available, including Global Education programs, interdepartmental majors, Fulbright and German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarships, independent research and independent studies, and internships, both before and after graduation. Students interested in a major should consult the director of undergraduate studies.
