    DOUBLE MAJORS
    EALC welcomes and encourages students majoring in other departments to double-major in EALC. Prospective double-majors should consult the relevant concentration advisor for help in arranging their program and for coordinating the two majors

    SUBMATRICULATION INFORMATION
    An undergraduate student may wish to undertake an intensified major program leading to the awarding of both the B.A. and M.A. degrees. Such a program of study must be approved by the undergraduate advisor, the undergraduate chair, and the Dean of the student's undergraduate school.
    Undergrad majors in EALC who wish to submatriculate into the EALC Graduate Group may apply to the Graduate Group at pre-registration time in the second semester of the junior year. If there is a question about the student's standing, the faculty may choose to wait until the semester's grades are in before making a final decision. Only graduate courses taken in the senior year will count for both graduate and undergraduate credit. An undergraduate must fulfill the graduate requirements in a course and receive a grade of A before that course can be considered for graduate credit. Courses required for fulfillment of the undergraduate major cannot be counted for graduate credit
    Students wishing to submatriculate as majors in EALC must apply prior to the beginning of the fall semester of their senior year. Students must also apply to the Graduate School. Only graduate courses taken in the senior year will count for both graduate and undergraduate credit. The student must fulfill the graduate requirements in a course and receive a grade of A before the course can be counted for double credit. Undergraduates who wish to sub-matriculate are required to pursue the Honors Program Major (a total of 16 c.u.) in addition to fulfilling all of the graduate program requirements. Students who sub-matriculate can usually complete the M.A. degree in one year after receiving the B.A. degree.

    HONORS PROGRAM
    Students must apply for admission to the honors program no later than their junior year. The requirements for the major with honors are the same as those for the major, with the addition of two additional electives in the student’s chosen concentration and an honors thesis written under the supervision of an EALC faculty member.

    ADVISING
    Please see the following faculty members for questions regarding fulfillment of the major or minor, course recommendations or general information about the particular concentration.

    EXCEPTION:  Questions on language placement or credit, or the Language Certificate, should be directed to the Language Coordinators.
