What is a Double Major?

It is a program that allows students who meet the success criteria and other conditions to take courses from two associate/bachelor's degree programs simultaneously and receive two separate diplomas. A diploma is awarded upon graduation.

What is a Minor?

It is a program that allows a student enrolled in a diploma program to take a limited number of courses on a specific subject within the scope of another diploma program among our university's bachelor's degree programs, provided that the prescribed conditions are met, and to receive a document (minor certificate) that does not replace a diploma. Upon graduation, a minor certificate that does not replace a diploma is awarded.
