Absolutely! In the USA, international students can pursue double majors or dual degrees, depending on the university’s policies and program structure. Here’s what you need to know:

Double Major

- Definition: Earning one bachelor’s degree with two areas of specialization (e.g., BA in Economics and Psychology).
- Commonality: Many US universities allow students to double major, especially within the same school/college.
- Eligibility: Good academic standing is usually required; you may apply after your first year.
- Duration: May extend your studies by a semester or two, but often can be completed within four years if planned well.
- F-1 Visa Implications: No issue, as long as you maintain full-time enrollment and finish within the program’s maximum duration (as per your I-20).

Dual Degree

- Definition: Earning two separate degrees (e.g., BA and BS, or BS and BBA), sometimes from different schools within the university.
- Requirements: Typically requires more credits than a double major and may take longer to complete (4–5 years).
- Application: You may need to apply separately for each degree program.
- Visa: You must complete both degrees within the maximum period allowed on your student visa.

Important Points for International Students

- Approval: Always check with your academic advisor and the International Student Office before choosing this path.
- SEVIS Record: Your SEVIS record and I-20 must accurately reflect your program of study and expected completion date.
- CPT/OPT: You are eligible for CPT/OPT after completing your degree(s); consult your international office for guidance.
- Workload: Double majors/dual degrees can be academically demanding, so careful planning is essential.
