How to add another Degree Program
With proper planning, undergraduates may be approved to add additional degree programs during their time at UCLA.
School of Music students must establish School of Music residency before they are eligible to request to add an additional degree program.
While you cannot request to add an additional degree program until you establish residency, you can start preparing to add your additional degree program as soon as your first quarter. Note: If you are interested in changing your primary major to a program outside of the School of Music, please refer to the steps to exit the School of Music.
When you are ready to request to add your additional degree program, please take the following steps:
- Review your DARS to see what is needed to complete your current major
- Run a What-If DARS to see the requirements for your proposed additional degree program
- Make a sample degree planner for you current program plus your proposed program(s). Sample planners for School of Music majors can be found here.
- Speak to your School of Music advisor to see if adding an additional degree program is possible within your remaining degree time
- Reach out to the advising unit for your proposed degree program to ask questions and set up an advising meeting with them, if possible
Once you take the outlined steps above, you can submit the Progress Petition to formally request approval to add an additional degree program.
If you have any questions about adding an additional degree program during your time at UCLA, connect with an advisor!
