<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I was recently admitted to USC. I was wondering if it was possible to double major where the two majors are from different schools, i.e. the liberal arts school and the communication school. </p>
<p>Can I do this as a freshman or is there a waiting period? Are there any restrictions? Do I have to apply to the school to take classes there or have a major there? What should I expect? </p>
<p>If you could answer this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much. Feel free to let me know answers to questions I haven't asked.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Yes, you can double-major in two different schools - USC strongly encourages students to double-major or major/minor in widely disparate fields and even has special recognition at graduation for those who do. It is called the [USC</a> Renaissance Scholars](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/programs/ugprograms/renaissance/]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/programs/ugprograms/renaissance/) program, and there are also awards for graduate school for some Renaissance scholars.</p>
<p>There are varying procedures for declaring majors depending on the program, and some will require and application. Investigate the website for more information [University</a> of Southern California](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/]University”>http://www.usc.edu/) .</p>
