With proper approval, an undergraduate business student may pursue two majors simultaneously, one in the School of Business, and one in another college/school at UT Austin. For example, a student who majors simultaneously in Finance and Economics receives the Bachelor of Business Administration and the Bachelor of Arts.
Business students may only
declare one
official business major, and earn
one Bachelor of Business Administration
degree.
The student is admitted to the
University with a single major. He or
she may choose a second major after
completing thirty semester hours of
coursework in residence at the
University. The student must follow any
application procedures and meet any
admission requirements that have been
established for the second major -
contact the
individual college or school for
more information.
UT Austin students in other programs who wish to add Business as their second major should see the School of Business Internal Transfer requirements.
For a simultaneous major to be added
in the current semester, students must
complete any required forms by the 8th
class day. Any form turned in after
that date will go into effect the
next semester.
Under the
Flat Rate Tuition policy, students
who pursue simultaneous majors will be
charged the higher college rate. They
will not be charged fees in both
colleges.
Students with simultaneous majors have the right
to use the advising and student services
provided by both colleges. Decisions
about admission to programs, honors,
scholastic probation, and dismissal are
based independently on the criteria for
each major.
A student who chooses to pursue two
majors simultaneously is expected to
take responsibility for his or her
educational development. The student
must know and abide by all policies of
each of the colleges in which he or she
is enrolled. The student must also know
and meet the requirements of both degree
programs, enroll in courses appropriate
to both, meet prerequisites and take
courses in the proper sequence, and seek
advice from both colleges about degree
requirements and other University
policies when necessary.
