Double-Counting
In Bloomington, the following course double-count policies are for admitted SPEA students only. Non-SPEA majors cannot double count courses with any SPEA academic program.
- SPEA Minors: Admitted SPEA students earning a SPEA minor may double count up to six (6) credit hours of minor courses with any other SPEA academic program. Each SPEA minor must have at least nine (9) credit hours that do not count toward any other SPEA academic program.
- SPEA Certificates: Admitted SPEA students earning a SPEA certificate may double count up to six (6) credit hours of certificate requirements with any other SPEA academic program. The remaining SPEA certificate credit hours cannot be applied toward any other SPEA academic program.
- SPEA Double Majors: Admitted SPEA students earning two SPEA majors within the same degree may double count up to six (6) credit hours of major courses for both majors. Since SPEA core courses are common to both majors, only courses specific to the majors (not core courses) are subject to the double-counting limit.
- Dual Degrees: Admitted SPEA students earning two SPEA degrees may double count up to six (6) credit hours of core or major courses for both degrees.
