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. Each major has their own requirement at level 1. In case the two chosen academic fields are closely related methodologically, you will find that some requirement options at level 2 overlap. In that case, one course at level 2 is often enough to satisfy the requirement for both majors.
