Double Majors
Depending on your unit load, it may be possible to double major. Since art is a 56-unit major, it’s entirely possible to complete a double-major that includes one major in art, providing that you plan ahead.
Coterm
The coterminal degree program allows you to study for a master’s degree while completing your bachelor’s degree(s) in the same or in a different department. Art students interested in pursuing a coterminal degree should speak with their academic advisor or an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising and Research Office.
