Inter-domain major

Inter-domain major

The requirements for a Bachelor of Arts or Science with an inter-domain major appear in section 3 of the Academic Rules and Regulations.
An inter-domain major can be a good choice if you have a strong interest in combining two disciplines from two different academic domains. 

Requesting an inter-domain Major

Inter-domain majors meet graduation requirements with their own combination of courses. This combination of courses should form a coherent whole, and when requesting an inter-domain major you must motivate that combination when you apply for an inter-domain major, by submitting a course plan. You can submit your request for an inter-domain major by midterm of the third semester as for any other major. See the curriculum request page. 

Methodology Courses

Inter-domain majors must take all methodology courses required for majors in both of the two domains. In case the two chosen academic fields are closely related methodologically, you will find that some requirement options overlap.

Humanities
  • Level 1: UCACCMET13 (only for degree students enrolled from Fall 2024 onward)
  • Level 2: one of UCACCMET22/23, UCACCMET24, UCACCMET25, UCACCMET26, UCACCMET2J, UCACCWRI21, or UCACCSTA21.
  • If needed, any 2,5 credit module to make a total of 7,5 credits at level 2.

See Humanities domain page for specific recommendations per track.

Science
  • Level 1: one mathematics course: UCACCMAT01, UCSCIMAT11 or UCSCIMAT14
  • Level 2: Three lab modules

See Science domain page for specific requirements per track.

Social Science
  • Level 1: UCACCMET12
  • Level 2: one of UCACCMET22/23, UCACCMET24, UCACCMET25, UCACCMET26, UCACCSTA21.
  • If needed, a matching 2,5 credit module to make a total of 7,5 credits at level 2.

See Social Science domain page for specific requirements per track.
