How to Double Major

As a current UCLA student, you do not need to reapply to UCLA formally to double major. However, the School of Music does require that all students complete all steps of our supplemental application, which is due each Fall in early December.

Steps to Double Major

Step 1: In order to apply to add a major at the School of Music or to switch to one of our majors, you are required to complete our supplemental application when they go live in October of Fall quarter. Find all of our supplemental application requirements here.

Step 2: After your application is reviewed by faculty in early December, you will be notified if you are invited to audition or interview for the program. Auditions and interviews take place in late January/early February of each year.

Step 3: If you are accepted to the major, you would be required to complete the requirements for the degree within your allotted time at UCLA. Please note that the School rarely approves extensions of time to complete our degrees, and you would need to demonstrate that you can complete all requirements within your remaining time at UCLA.
