At the University of Arizona it is possible to combine two majors as part of a single Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. As a multidisciplinary endeavor, American Indian Studies encourages students to think of this option.
AIS allows students to use up to 9 units (3 courses) towards a second major, pending approval from the second major department. Students who chose to double major (complete two B.A. degrees) do not need a minor.
The AIS core course requirements remain the same for the AIS major when it is combined with a second major. If you already are minoring in AIS, you can easily change to an AIS major. Contact the AIS Advisor Christopher Cruz, cbcruz75@arizona.edu.
