Arts and Sciences/Business Dual Major

The Arts and Sciences/Business Dual Major is available for A&S students who want to complement their degree with a general business major. Students enrolled in this program complete a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree through A&S and incorporate a broad-based foundation in business consisting of 12 business courses.

A&S students may apply to the dual-major program at the end of their freshman year or as incoming transfer students. Students must earn a minimum of 120 credits to complete the dual major (more credits may be required, depending on the requirements of particular A&S majors).

The A&S/Business Dual Major Handbook (PDF) helps Pitt students (as well as students at other institutions) make decisions about applying for admission to the program. This guide also includes all key policies and requirements applicable to the A&S/Business Dual Major.
