Second Majors for students in the College of Arts and Sciences

College Students can apply for Electrical Science (ES) or Systems Science (SS) as a second major within the College. Under this program, a College student will receive one diploma from the College of Arts and Sciences with a dual major (note that this option is only for students in the College, not Engineering students). To enroll, students must complete the Application for Second Major for Non-Engineering Students.

Electrical Science Requirements:

Second Majors with the College typically require 12-13 CUs. Math and Natural Science requirement does not count in the 12-13 CUs.
