<p>If I want to double major in Business Admin as well as Econ will I have to apply to the econ major at the beginning of my first semester on campus (I'm a transfer student) Or can I wait until I have had at least one semester completed before applying?</p>
<p>From <a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/major/double.html:[/url][quote]Declaring ”>http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/major/double.html:
Declaring</a> Simultaneous Degrees</p>
<p>To declare simultaneous degrees (completion of majors offered by two different schools or colleges), submit a Simultaneous Degree Application Packet to the Office of Undergraduate Advising in 206 Evans Hall.</p>
<p>All L&S requirements must be completed or accounted for in your planned program (this includes the Reading and Composition, Foreign Language, Quantitative Reasoning, and Seven Course Breadth requirements).</p>
<p>No more than two upper division courses may be used in common to fulfill requirements for both majors.</p>
<p>In order to declare simultaneous degrees, a minimum grade point average of 2.0 is required in all course work for each major.</p>
<p>Approval from a major advisor is required for each major, and approval from the dean of each college or school is also required.</p>
<p>Simultaneous degrees applications should be submitted at least two semesters prior to graduation.</p>
<p>In planning simultaneous degrees, you will need to adhere to all unit and residence requirements for each college or school.</p>
<p>Your simultaneous degrees request will be approved only if your proposed program demonstrates that you will be able to finish all degree requirements within nine semesters (counting enrollments in all institutions attended) or by the end of the semester in which you exceed 136 units.</p>
<p>To confirm your simultaneous degrees, check Bear Facts one month after submitting your application. You will be notified by email if there is a problem with your application.
