Double Major Sample Curriculum: Physics (Option A) and Astronomy
The double major program offered through the College of Arts and Sciences requires that each major must contain 30 hours
not contained in the other (i.e. exclusive of that other major) AND the second major must meet all requirements set by the
second major department. A sample 4-year academic schedule for double major in Physics and Astronomy is provided below.
Other double major combinations are possible. See a college academic counselor for more details.
