Provisional University Bulletin (2026-2027)

Double-Counting Restrictions

Individual First-Year Seminar courses may be applied toward major or minor requirements, if approved by the program or department. But no First-Year Seminar course may double count toward any other core requirement. Additionally, courses approved to fulfill the three-course world language sequence do not satisfy the general core requirement in the humanities.

Aside from these restrictions, it is otherwise expected that courses in the undergraduate curriculum will serve multiple purposes in a student's program of study. For example, students will often satisfy some core requirements in the context of completing a major. Some majors, however, limit the degree of "double counting" between and among majors and minors. Students pursuing double majors, or other combinations of majors and minors, are advised to consult the bulletin and all appropriate undergraduate advisers to come to a mutually acceptable degree of overlap.
