Choosing Multiple Programs

Credits and Double Course Counting

  • Students are allowed to pursue two programs in addition to their major such as two minors, one minor and one certificate, or two certificates.
  • Students may double-count up to two School of Foreign Service-specific core requirements towards any minor, excluding the Freshman Proseminar and the introductory history requirement.

How to Declare a Minor

To declare the minor, review the requirements, ensure that you can complete the requirements for the minor in time for graduation, then complete the Arabic Minor Declaration Form, or the Minor Declaration Form for all other minors. If you have any questions about the minor requirements and your graduation, please consult your advising dean.

Pursuing Other Minors

On occasion, students have pursued other minors available to SFS students on the Washington, DC, campus. If you are interested in this option, please speak with your advising dean. Be aware that students pursuing main campus minors will not be given priority in the relevant courses. Priority in courses is reserved for students completing their core and major requirements. GU-Q students may not pursue DC campus certificates.
