Special Graduate Majors and Degree Programs

Co-Major and Joint Major Degree Program:
A co-major is a program of study for a single degree in which the requirements for two separate majors are met. A joint major is similar to a co-major but is only available in specific participating programs. In both programs, the single degree is granted when the student fulfills the requirements of both majors. The program of study (POS) committee will include co-chairs, each of whom represents one of the co-majors. Both co-chairs must be members of the graduate faculty. A preliminary oral examination and research work for the Ph.D. degree should be related to both majors. Students declaring co-majors or joint majors must satisfy requirements established by each major as monitored by the representatives on the program of study (POS) committee and the DOGEs of the two majors. A co-major or joint major cannot be added after the preliminary oral examination has been taken.

The committee, must have one major professor from vet path, and at least one committee member from vet path, as well as major professor from education, and at least one member from education. The 5th member can be outside both areas or inside one and outside of other. You can have 3 ed and 2 vet path or visa versa. The one designated outside cannot be joint appointed in both departments. We could have 3 major profs and 2 members as long as one member came out of each area.
