Undergraduate Major Programs and Requirements
Completion of a major program is required for all baccalaureate
degrees. The student’s academic advisor assists with the student’s
selection of a major. The student declares the major selected on the
course registration form completed each semester. Students must have
declared a major by the end of the second semester of the sophomore
year.
A major is an orderly sequence of courses in:
- a particular discipline
- a combination of two disciplines, or
- a defined interdisciplinary field
A major must include a minimum of 32 and a maximum of 64 semester
hours of required course work, exclusive of all hours used to
satisfy core requirements. Exceptions may be granted in special
circumstances by a vote of the appropriate faculty committee. At
least half of the semester hours required for the major must be in course work taken
at Oglethorpe University. Each major includes a substantial
component of advanced courses which have specified prerequisites. A
major may require for successful completion a cumulative grade-point
average in the major field which is higher than the 2.0 cumulative
grade-point average required for graduation. Alternatively, the
requirements for the major may state that only courses in which a
"C-" or higher grade is received may be used in satisfaction of the
major’s requirements. The student is responsible for ensuring the
fulfillment of the requirements of the major selected. Specific
requirements for each of the majors may be found listed below in
alphabetical order. Please note that no course that is counted to
fulfill a major requirement for one degree may be used toward the
requirements of another degree.
