The Aggie in You ...
Our alumni tell us time and time again that they "found their people ... and themselves" here at the College of Letters and Science. Some arrived knowing what they wanted to do with their lives and we were happy to provide them access to some of the highest ranked programs in the country. Others were less sure what they wanted. They experimented with electives, sometimes discovering new passions. By the time they were ready to graduate, they had picked up a new minor or second major. Or they had created their own unique major and mapped out a future that satisfied them in ways they never dreamed. That's the power of L&S. That's the power of an education without boundaries for a life of boundless impact.
Double Major at L&S
Maybe you feel too limited with a single major — want to see more options. Or maybe you know your purpose and what problems you want to tackle, but you need some advice on how to best prepare. No problem. Your future is our goal. Our advising team is ready to help you turn your passion into an education that works for you.
Education Without Boundaries: The Power of the Double Major
Some students feel limited by a single major and want to study another field. If you know your purpose and the challenges you want to address, but feel a single major won't provide all the skills you need, consider enhancing your education with a second major. Hear from our students what double majoring means to them.
