Guidelines, Process, and Deadline for Submission by Undergraduate Students of Applications for Double Degree (LS ADAA/RO memo)

3 December 2022

The Loyola Schools offers to undergraduate students the opportunity for a double degree, which combines two curricula and leads to the conferment of two undergraduate degrees. Currently enrolled students, except those already enrolled in LS prescribed double degree programs, may apply for a double degree consolidating the curriculum of their first degree with that of another. Applications require the endorsement of the two concerned departments/programs and the approval of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

Please find attached the guidelines and process for double degree applications. The deadline for submission of double degree applications is on JANUARY 15 every school year. If January 15 falls on a Sunday or holiday, the deadline is automatically moved to the next working day. However, the processing of applications will not be done during the periods of online enlistment and load revision. If the application is approved, the effective date of the double degree is the immediately succeeding school year.

Interested students should accomplish the Application for Double Degree form from Saturday, 3 December 2022 to 12:00 noon of Monday, 16 January 2023. Students should upload the following documents to the form:

1.     An essay of no more than 250 words that explains the reasons for wanting to take the intended double/second degree/major and personal qualities, abilities, or special skills that you feel will help you in the chosen program of study
2.     A pdf copy of AISIS-generated IPS
3.     A pdf copy of AISIS-generated grades
