Dual Majors

Our business curriculum is designed to accommodate those students who opt to major in two different areas of business. Most Business major core courses are completed in the student's Freshman and Sophomore years. Courses specific to their dual degrees can then be completed during the Junior and Senior years - allowing students to complete two degrees in the traditional four year period.

For more information about Accounting electives or core business courses please refer to the Graduation Requirements; or contact Dr. Christopher R. Cocozza, Division Head, Division of Business at Christopher.Cocozza@desales.edu.
