<p>Is it possible to do a double major between the Hotel School and the School of Arts and Sciences?</p>
<p>yes+ characters</p>
<p>I applied to Cornell for the College of Arts and Sciences, but do I have to do an additional application for the Hotel School in order to double major?</p>
<p>just out of curiosity what are you planning on majoring in CAS?</p>

<p>Students sometimes believe that completing two majors, a so-called double major, is a sign of competence and ambition. This isnt necessarily so. A double major will occupy nearly all of the last two years of study. This will effectively close out elective courses in fascinating subjects they would otherwise have time for and can result in a narrow curriculum. One major with imaginative, challenging electives is often a more ambitious course of study than a formal double major. </p>
<p>If students are enthralled by two subjects, they can go ahead and double major. No ones permission or approval is necessary, but the student must have an advisor in each major. A student might decide not to complete a full major in a second subject but simply to take enough courses in it to make it an informal, undocumented minor. Anyone looking at the transcript would see the substantial background in the second field. If the student does complete two (or more) majors, all are noted on the transcript. </p>
<p>Unless disallowed by either an advisor or department, students who have two majors may apply a course required by both majors toward both major requirements. However, the spirit of a double major requires two separate and complete units, not one set of courses called by two different names. </p>
<p>Because completing only one major is required, courses in a second major may be counted among the 15 credits of required electives. </p>
<p>Found that on the Cornell website, but if you look harder you can find some better and more complete info on it. There was a thread about this a month or two ago.</p>
<p>So do I have to submit an additional application?</p>
<p>I know that CAS offers a dual-degree program in which undergrads can earn two degrees, one from the Arts and Sciences, the other from either Engineering or AAP. I do not think that you can "double major" between CAS and the Hotel School. That would be considered two degreess (a double major is within the same college, like Economics and Math or ChemE and Engineering Physics). The CAS website has more information on the Dual-Degree Program.</p>
<p>you need to apply for dual degree once you're here. ask your faculty advisor about it when you meet with him during the orientation.</p>
