Students must complete requirements for a specific major, which must total no fewer than 25 credit hours. The specific requirements a student must fulfill for the major are those published in the IU Southeast Bulletin current at the time the student declares the major.

Note:

• Only minimum grades of C– may be counted toward this requirement, although courses with lower passing grades may count toward the 120 credit hour requirement. Note that some programs require minimum grades of C in major courses.
• The course taken to satisfy the first-level general education writing requirement may not be applied toward the major.

Some courses required for the major may "double dip" with General Education Core courses and BA Distribution courses, as long as the minimum number of credit hours for the degree is met.  When "double dipping," major courses and General Educatoin and/or BA Distribution courses, the minimum grade required is the higher of the two (typically a C- or higher).
