Students at Cornell are unable to double major across different colleges, frustrating some students and parents.
In a university that boasts seven undergraduate colleges, students are neatly sorted into their collegiate home before even arriving to Cornell. But for students who decide their academic interests lie beyond their chosen school, internal transferring helps keep that from being a permanent assignment.
Cornell seniors Constantin Miranda ’20 and Barron DuBois ’20 created the DUST Report application as an alternative tool to the College’s existing Distributed Undergraduate Student Tracking report, which can be found on Arts & Sciences’ website.
“The cross-college major affords the opportunity to innovate beyond traditional disciplinary borders in order to address the pressing environmental issues of our time,” she said.
