Two Degree Concept

Because you are receiving two separate B.S. degrees, you have to meet requirements for both of those degrees. This means that you have two advisors, one in Human Nutrition and one in Kinesiology. It also means that you should be listed as a major in two departments (Human Nutrition; Kinesiology). Thirdly, any paperwork you file (course substitutions, application for graduation clearance, etc.) must be submitted to and approved by the Dean's offices in two colleges (Human Ecology; Arts and Sciences).

Sometimes this is confusing because procedures and forms are different between the colleges. For example, your curriculum is listed differently in both department and colleges. If you are correctly enrolled as a dual major, the Registrar should have both of these curricula listed under your name.

Department	College	Curriculum	Sub Curriculum	Degree
Kinesiology	AS	KIN	NE	23
Human Nutrition	HE	NUKIN	-	J1

Your Departments and Deans offices are located at:

Department of Human Nutrition	Justin 213
Deans Office - Human Ecology	Justin 119
Department of Kinesiology	Natatorium 1A
Deans Office - College of A&S	Eisenhower 113

If you are also a pre-health professions major (e.g., pre-med or pre-physical therapy) you will have a "third" major (and a "third" advisor as well). If you are interested in pre-med or pre-physical therapy you should read the PHPP section in this web.

A few NUKIN majors have completed a third B.S. in Dietetics or Athletic Training. If you are interested in those options refer to the sections on Becoming a Registered Dietitian and Athletic Training.
