In the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, our majors are constructed to allow you to create a program of study that matches your interests and will help you fulfill your career goals. To that end, our majors have worked together to create agreements to allow students to double-count courses to make it easier to double major. Accordingly to TCNJ policy, “a maximum of three full courses may be applied to both majors.” When a student double majors, they graduate with one degree but have both majors listed on their transcript.
