UIC Double Degree (Non-LAS Students)

A student may receive two degrees concurrently from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) and another college within UIC, pending both colleges' approval. The student must complete 30 semester hours of credit at UIC beyond the requirements for the first degree in courses not offered for the first degree. In addition, the student must complete all degree requirements of the College and the major department. For specific information on these requirements, consult the department listings in the catalog.

Please note: Double degrees will not be approved if the first degree and the proposed second degree involve study of a similar area or substantial duplication of course work.

Admission Requirements

Students must be in good academic standing, with a 2.0. (4.00 scale) grade point average (GPA) from all the following:

  • Cumulative (UIC + Transfer) GPA
  • UIC GPA
  • Previous Term GPA
  • Intended LAS major GPA*

*Some majors require a different GPA for admission into the major. To review program-specific requirements, consult the LAS Departments sections on the left-hand side of the UIC Catalog. Please note if your intended LAS major GPA is below the required minimum GPA, you will not be admitted to the LAS double degree for that major.

Students must also have completed at least one semester of coursework at UIC. First-semester students should wait until final grades have posted before submitting an application.

Application Timeline

All non-LAS students must submit a double degree application to be initially reviewed by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Applicants  will be notified of their status via their UIC email.

This application is for non-LAS students only. Current LAS students wishing to apply for a double degree within LAS (two LAS degrees) should visit the LAS department offering the second degree to declare their double degree. Do not use this form.
