Number of students

The Department applied to may accept double major students within the scope of 10% to 30% of the quota for their department, for each academic year.

Selection Criteria

Each department sets their selection criteria through interviews and consideration of grades. This criteria may also include results of practical evaluation depending on the department.

Course registration

1. Students undertaking a double major should apply for courses in both the departments of their first major and their double major.
2. The credit limit for course registration depends on the year and semester of the first major.
3. Courses undertaken in the double major are classified as general electives.

Withdrawal from a double major

Students who wish to withdraw from a minor, can apply for withdrawal through the student classnet system before the last day of the final semester. (Student Classnet → Convergence, Double, Minor → Convergence, Double, Minor → Status of Completion → Apply for withdrawal)

Duration of a double major

If a student fails to complete a double major within the allowed enrollment period (8 years maximum, or 10 years maximum for a five-year major), the student will lose eligibility to complete a double major.

Graduation thesis and field training

Double major students must pass the thesis requirements of the double major department, and complete any necessary field training for graduation.

Tuition

1. If a student is unable to satisfy the number of graduation credits required of their major department and double major department within eight semesters, the student will be classified as a non-graduate from their ninth semester.  In this case, tuition fees will be paid according to the applicable fees for the number of credits undertaken by registration in the student’s first major department.
   (If the major is a five-year major, the student will be classified as a non-graduate from the 11th semester.)
2. Students who are completing a double major officially belong to the department they originally entered until graduation. Therefore, even if the student meets requirements for graduation in their 7th semester (including early graduation), in the case of not meeting requirements for the double major, fees will be determined based on enrollment in the original major (regardless of registration in the department of the double major).
