In cases where there is not a relevant opportunity for an interdisciplinary studio, thesis, or final project, students will be required to submit one upper level course or studio project, taken in either department (or program) to advisors in both departments as evidence of an investigation simultaneously broaching topics in both disciplines.
Note: Due to the special scheduling required for HSPV dual-degree students, in which there is an academic year that requires 5.5 CUs in one semester and 4.5 CUs in the other semester, no additional tuition charges are assessed for the 10 academic year CUs needed in this situation. However, students who choose to take more than 10 CUs will be subject to Weitzman’s regular overload tuition policies.
The degree and major requirements displayed are intended as a guide for students entering in the Fall of 2024 and later. Students should consult with their academic program regarding final certifications and requirements for graduation.
