<p>Hello, I just got into Northwestern's School of Communication (so happy!!!) to be a theatre major, but I want to double major in international studies in the School of Arts and Sciences... How easy is it to cross major in two different schools? Do I have to do something to be enrolled in Arts and sciences?</p>

It is very easy to cross major between the School of Communications and the Weinberg College of Arts and Science. There is nothing you need to do now. During Wildcat Welcome Week in September, you will meet with your academic advisor and register for classes. You can discuss this with him/her then. Here’s a very brief overview of Wildcat Welcome Week:

<p>Wow thank you! I love Northwestern.</p>
<p>Heya Pbunny,</p>
<p>Just to add on to what CCMom2U said, there’s no need to declare a second major right away. You can, without any difficulty, take classes within different schools. There is no additional process when signing up for classes; all NU students use the same class sign up portal and very few classes have restrictions based on what school you are in. From there, you can start working towards an international studies major before you even declare it. Declaring a double major is easy as well, and usually only requires speaking with your advisor and filling out a declaration form. I’m currently a student at NU, so if there’s anything else I can help you with, please let me know.</p>
<p>Hey! First off, congratulations! Welcome to the School of Comm!</p>
<p>Just to even further reassure you, I’m a R/TV/F and Middle East and North African Studies double major, and one of my friends is actually a Theatre/International Studies double major. Most School of Comm students, especially theatre and film majors, tend to have a second Weinberg major. The workload should be (relatively) manageable and the process is simple. It’s cake!</p>
