|  Combined
Major
A combined major allows students to complete a course of
study involving two disciplines offered as regular programs
at UC Santa Cruz.
A combined major is designed by faculty representatives
from both disciplines. In general, fewer courses are required
than for a double major, and students complete the comprehensive
requirements as specified for each combined major. Combined
majors currently include:
• Earth sciences/anthropology
• environmental studies/biology
• environmental studies/Earth sciences
• environmental studies/economics
• Latin American and Latino studies/global economics
• Latin American and Latino studies/literature
• Latin American and Latino studies/politics
• Latin American and Latino studies/sociology
The diploma of a student who has completed a combined major
in environmental studies and economics, for example, would
read “Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Environmental
Studies/Economics.” reg.ucsc.edu/catalog/html/undergrad_acad.htm#planning
Senior Thesis or Project
Typically, in the senior year students must satisfy the
comprehensive requirement for their major by satisfactorily
completing a comprehensive examination or an equivalent body
of work that is defined by the unit supervising the major.
For some major programs, a written thesis or other project
that involves extensive work and reflects comprehensive understanding
of a subject matter may be accepted in place of a comprehensive
examination.

Double Major
To complete a double major, students must fulfill all of
the requirements for both majors declared, including the comprehensive
requirement for each major. In general, a single thesis may
not be used for more than one major. In meeting the minimum
number of upper-division courses required for each major,
students may count any course for one major only. A double
major may include an individual
major or consist entirely of established majors.
The diploma of a student who has completed a double major
in history and music, for example, would read “Bachelor
of Arts with Majors in History and Music.” reg.ucsc.edu/catalog/html/undergrad_acad.htm#graduation
