Majors, Minors, and Certificates

Students in the Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences may major, major with a minor, double major, double major with a minor, or major in one field with two minors. A minor is not required.

Georgetown University College of Arts & Sciences students may earn a certificate in a regional study, which is offered through the School of Foreign Service. Certificates are the functional equivalent of minors, so they count as one of the (maximum) three academic components a student may complete toward the degree (i.e., a major plus two other components). There can be no double counting of courses between or among the programs.

Accelerated Bachelor/Master Degree Programs

Some graduate programs offer qualified undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue a Master’s degree in an accelerated program format.

The Accelerated Master’s program allows students to double-count some courses required for the Master’s program toward both the undergraduate and Master’s degrees. Double-counting limits vary by program; please consult the program’s Director of Graduate Studies for more details.

Undergraduate enrollment in graduate-level courses is at the discretion of each program; please consult the specific graduate program of interest for program details. Students ordinarily apply to the graduate program in the junior year (in some cases, students are able to apply in the senior year as well) and, with the approval of the graduate program director, must identify any double-counted and graduate-only classes in the final semester of the undergraduate degree.
