Major Field The amount of work for a typical major field is usually about 50 quarter hours and must include the requirements of the depart– ment. Comprehensive majors are typically from 70 to 90 hours. Specific requirements are listed at the beginning of department course offerings. No courses in which "D" grades are received may be counted as meeting the requirements of the major field.

With proper scheduling, he may concurrently complete the requirements for more than one major. Majors involving fewer than sixty quarter hours of course work lend themselves to this approach.
