Major Requirements and Declaration of Major The term “major” refers to the specialty in the degree program in the University. Each course in the major requires a final grade of C or better. Course grades lower than C in the major must be repeated or an equivalent course taken to satisfy the specific major requirement. Students are encouraged not to declare a major until their sophomore or second year. Upon admission to the American University of Kuwait, undergraduate students are admitted with an undeclared major, placed in the College of Arts and Sciences, and assigned to the Student Success Center for advising. Students should formally choose and declare a major by the start of their junior or third year of full-time coursework.When students declare a major, they are then assigned to the appropriate faculty advisor. For information and forms for declaring a major, visit the Office of the Registrar. Double Major Students may complete two majors by satisfactorily completing all the major and major-related coursework required by the two majors. A double major is usually pursued in the same degree program (within the majors offered by B.B.A., or within the majors offered by B.A., or within the majors offered by B.S.) Students may not apply more than three of the same courses (9 credit hours) to both majors to meet both sets of requirements. If the double major is pursued in two different degree programs (such as a major in B.A. and a major in B.B.A.), students must pursue two Bachelor degrees and accrue at least 150 credit hours or more. 73
