Double Major Across Schools

<p>Are you able to double majors between two different schools at Vandy?</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>You have to pick a ‘primary’ school and follow their gen ed requirements (ex AXLE), so you should try to make your primary school the one with the easiest requirements.</p>

<p>Thanks! Do you know whether A&S or Peabody has easier requirements? Which is easier to get into?</p>

<p>I believe Peabody’s liberal arts core is easier. You can look at AXLE (A&S core) and the HOD core ( <a href=“http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/docs/pdf/registrar/2012_13_HOD_liberal_education_core.pdf[/url]”>http://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/docs/pdf/registrar/2012_13_HOD_liberal_education_core.pdf&lt;/a&gt; ) and compare.</p>

<p>There isn’t a significant difference in difficulty of getting in. Peabody admits have slightly lower average SAT but probably tend to excel a little more in other areas like leadership and service.</p>

<p>Do you know why so many students double major at Vandy?</p>

<p>Probably because theyre vanderbilt students- active and involved and versatile.</p>

<p>S2 was accepted and is enrolled in the School of Engineering as a computer science engineer major and has added a double major of Math. There is a special program for Engineering students to be able to do this as there is an overlap in a few of the courses.</p>

<p>Because double majoring isn’t that difficult. You have a lot of open electives, and a lot of liberal arts core electives to take-- sometimes it just makes sense to arrange them into a second major. A major/minor combo is more common though.</p>
