Double Majors and Minors

Is it possible to double major or earn a minor?
MCDB majors in good academic standing may be permitted a double major or a minor.

Double majors: the second major may not be another Life Science major, or Biochemistry. Both majors must be completed within your maximum unit limit, and no more than 20 upper division units can be common to both majors. You must have completed all lower division courses in both majors and two upper division courses in each before you apply for the double major. You may obtain an Undergraduate Petition to Double Major form at your College Counseling Unit (College Academic Counseling in A316 Murphy Hall; Academic Advancement Program (AAP) in 1209 Campbell Hall; Honors Program in A311 Murphy Hall; Athletics George Kneller Academic Center in the JD Morgan Center).

Minors: a list of available minors can be viewed at http://www.registrar.ucla.edu/catalog/catalog07-08-2-3.html. MCDB does permit majors to pursue the Neuroscience minor, with departmental approval. MCDB determines final approval of a double major or minor request - filing the request does NOT guarantee approval. If you are interested in a double major or minor, you should meet with the MCDB Counselor first.
