Are double degrees two majors?
A double degree is two majors.

Double degree refers to any two professional degrees in different disciplines such as economy, law, education, literature, history, science, engineering and management. There are 1 10 first-level disciplines under the 13 discipline category, that is, the category. The first-level discipline belongs to two disciplines, which is commonly known as the major.

In a narrow sense, a double degree generally means that undergraduates complete the credits stipulated in the teaching plan of two majors at the same time during their college years, thus obtaining a double-degree bachelor's degree certificate, which will indicate your double-degree major and the corresponding bachelor's degree. For example, I completed the credits of English major and international economy and trade major, and got a double bachelor's degree in literature and economics.

The difference between a double degree and a second degree is as follows:

First, the approval authority is different.

The double degree is formulated and approved by the school itself; The second bachelor's degree needs the approval of the Ministry of Education, and only institutions of higher learning with second bachelor's degree courses approved by the Ministry of Education have the right to issue second bachelor's degree certificates.

Second, the certificates are different.

Double-degree diploma is to note two professional names on a diploma, and double-degree diploma is to note two degree names on a degree certificate; The second bachelor's degree is a separate diploma and degree certificate.

Third, the enrollment targets are different.

The object of double-degree enrollment in colleges and universities is full-time undergraduates in our school; The enrollment scope of the second bachelor's degree is not limited to full-time undergraduates, but also can recruit undergraduates from correspondence, night universities, TV universities and self-taught examinations. It can not only recruit students from our school, but also students outside the school or even outside the province, not only students at school, but also on-the-job personnel.

Fourth, the training mode is different.

1. Dual-degree education is a teaching reform measure for students to complete all the teaching plans and all the required courses of another subject with extra time. Dual-degree education belongs to the category of undergraduate education, which is to give full play to the advantages of comprehensive universities, explore interdisciplinary teaching models and promote the cultivation of compound talents.

2. The second degree is a kind of training method that colleges with two academic degrees are admitted by the school after being established for the record and organizing unified examinations. The academic system is two years. The school focuses on cultivating high-level emerging professionals urgently needed by the country at present, and cultivating a group of high-level professionals with wide knowledge and interdisciplinary fields urgently needed by the country.
