required vs elective?
I was wondering - If I were to be double majoring, or working towards two differnt degrees- could the required classes for one degree be considered the elective classes for another degree?
Please let me know if you know the answer to this. Thank you.

If you are double majoring (ex English and something), both subjects would be considered required, since its a dual degree. I don't think you can work towards two independent degrees at one time and have a required vs elective conflict...

Are you thinking about coming back for a second degree after finishing one? You can use courses you took during the first degree as required courses towards the second, though you need to do some research on the exact process.

Hope that helps...I'm not sure what you're asking, its a bizarre situation.

no idea... but i think for minors some of the required classes/clases on the course list for your program can count towards the minor (but i believe there is a limit)... havent really heard of many/any double majoring... maybe the info is buried somewhere in the registrar site/course calendar?
