Can I double major?

Isenberg students may double major with another area of interest at the University.

Isenberg students may double major with another area of interest at the University. Students should check in with the outside department of interest to see requirements needed or application criteria.  Each of the Isenberg programs - BBA, Sport Management, and Hospitality and Tourism Management HTM) - has their own application process.

If you are already enrolled in an Isenberg program and want to double major with another Isenberg program, you will still need to apply through the on-campus transfer application process. Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students may not double major with another BBA major.
