Check TAMU Transfer Course Equivalency.

If the course is not listed or is listed only as transferable by title (TRNS), please contact the appropriate person below. Please include a detailed syllabus for the institution and the semester the course was taken. The syllabus should include the textbook used (if applicable), a list of learning objectives or outcomes, and a weekly schedule detailing what sections of the book or topics were covered in the course. If your syllabus does not include this, you will need to contact the professor of the course to get this information.

Please email advising@math.tamu.edu for all transfer equivalency requests.

For help with choosing courses each semester or with questions regarding the undergraduate degree planner, please make an appointment with an advisor.

Appointments are now made in Howdy through Navigate. See the link at the top of this page for instructions on how to make an appointment.

Email Bailey Patterson your name, UIN, desired new degree plan and area of emphasis (if applicable). It is not necessary to make an appointment with an advisor unless you would like to discuss degree plan options.

General Requirements

A student interested in pursuing a double major or double degree is required to seek approval from both the proposed major department as well as the current major department. To initiate this process, please contact the department which offers the proposed major or degree. Please note, the College of Science requires a 3.00 overall GPR, a 3.00 in current major as well as the proposed major, and normally must initiate the process before the student reaches 90 credit hours.

Undergraduate Double Majors

Both majors must lead to the same baccalaureate degree, e.g., both must lead to BA or BS, rather than one leading to a BA and one to a BS. The degree for a double major is one degree; one diploma will be issued, with both majors indicated. A student must complete the requirements for both majors before the degree can be awarded.

A student pursuing a double major must complete all university and college requirements. If both majors are in the same college, the student must complete all department/curricular requirements for each major. If one major is in one college and the other is in another college, the student must meet all requirements for each major. A list of courses required for completion of the second major must be approved by the advisor for that curriculum.

Undergraduate Second Degrees

A student pursuing a second degree will, upon completion of all requirements, receive two separate degrees, e.g., two BAs, two BSs, or a combination of either BA, BS, BBA, BLA, or BED degree.

A student pursuing a second degree must complete all university, college, and department/curricular requirements for the second degree not covered in the first.

Courses may be used to satisfy the requirements for both degrees. However, the total semester hours required must be at least 30 semester hours in addition to the greater number of hours required for either degree. At least 12 hours of 300- and 400-level course work must be completed in each field of study.
