PROGRAM (MAJOR/MINOR)
Declaration or Change of Major/Minor
All students must declare a specific major by the time 45 hours have been completed. A major or minor may be changed and a second major or minor declared by notifying the Office of Student Records.
Multiple Majors/Minors
Except as noted below, students may major in more than one subject area. All degree requirements must be met for each major that is declared. If a student selects one major, two minors may also be earned. However, if a student selects two majors, no minors may be selected. The student will be assigned an advisor in each subject area. After completing the requirements for up to two majors or one major and two minors, a student falls under the requirements for earning “an additional baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University.”
To earn an additional baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University in another major, a student must complete an additional 30 hours in residency, 15 hours of which must be advanced hours (3000 or above). The student must fulfill the requirements of that major, including both major and required related requirements, with a minimum of 15 hours in that major.
Students declaring Liberal Studies or Interdisciplinary Studies as their major may not have a second major or a minor. These majors were designed particularly for working professionals seeking to broaden their skills and enhance their opportunity for advancement.
Second Baccalaureate Degree
A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from another accredited institution, and who seeks a baccalaureate degree in another major from Texas Wesleyan University, must complete a minimum of 45 hours at Texas Wesleyan University. The student must meet the requirements of the major, including both major and required related requirements. At least 15 hours of the additional 45 hours must be advanced hours (3000 or above) in the major and the remaining hours in courses unique to the Texas Wesleyan University General Education Curriculum including a religion course. The appropriate school will analyze transcripts and specify which general education courses must be completed. A student who has earned a baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University, and who wishes to earn an additional baccalaureate degree from Texas Wesleyan University in another major, must complete a minimum of 30 additional hours in residency, 15 hours of which must be upper division (3000 or above) level, and fulfill the requirements of the major with a minimum of 15 hours in that major.
