When you enroll at Susquehanna, you’ll be paired with an advisor and application tool to guide you in your course planning and scheduling. The following is an excerpt from the complete course catalog. Enrolled students follow the requirements of the course catalog for the academic year in which they declare each major and/or minor, consult with their advisor(s) and the Academic Planning Tool.

Double-counting Restriction
Only 8 semester hours may be double-counted towards other majors/minors.
A student can declare two majors within the Sigmund Weis School of Business, but they may not declare a double major in both 1) Marketing, and 2) Luxury Brand Marketing & Management. Students must complete all the requirements for both declared majors. Students may only double-count the courses included in the Business Foundation requirements. Therefore, if a course is used to satisfy a requirement of one major, that same course may not be used to fulfill a requirement of the second major within the School of Business.
