Concurrent Degree
Emphasizing interdisciplinary study
The Concurrent Degree enables exceptional undergraduate students to take advantage of the breadth of academic study that is Cornell’s hallmark.
With nearly 80 majors offered by the undergraduate colleges and schools, the Concurrent Degree enables a student to build a unique curriculum around their special interests.
When earning two distinct and independent degrees at the baccalaureate level (such as a B.A. from Architecture, Art and Planning and a B.S. from CALS), the student must have permission from both colleges. The coursework must have at least 30 credits of specialized, program-specific coursework that is unique to each degree. Significant overlap in the general, liberal arts curriculum is permissible, however, any overlap in specialized requirements for each degree is limited to 12 academic credits. When the two degrees involve a program in a licensed profession, no credits in the professional curriculum may be “double-counted” towards a different degree.
