Social Policy and Practice
Some schools permit students to construct their own major program. Students
interested in this option should refer to the section of this catalog for the school in
which they are enrolled to learn about the availability of this option and, the
specific requirements
Newcomb-Tulane College students must have a primary major in the Schools of
Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, or
Science and Engineering. Any student may also pursue a second major. If the
second major is not housed in the primary school, the student does not have to
complete the school-specific core of the secondary school. Subject to approval by
their advisers, students may also pursue a second major in a professional degree
program; however, this option requires completing all degree requirements for the
second major and obtaining the professional degree, i.e., B.S.E., B.S.M., B.S.P.H,
M.Arch. (See Dual Degrees.)
Full-time students may pursue second majors or minors in the School of
Continuing Studies only as a voluntary overload. The second majors available are
journalism or media arts; the second minors available are journalism, Louisiana
studies, graphic design, media arts, telecommunications, Web application
development or website development.
Undergraduate students may complete one or more minors. The minor is optional
and is designed to provide structure to the study of a secondary field of interest
chosen by the student. Students who elect to complete the requirements for a
minor must earn a grade-point average of at least 2.000 in courses counting
toward that minor. No courses counting toward the student's first minor will
count toward the student's second minor. Individual schools or departments may
specify the number of credits allowed on major-minor overlap. Students should
consult departmental listings for additional information.
