Science in Human Culture Adjunct Major
Students must also complete the Undergraduate Registration Requirement and the degree requirements of their home school.
Adjunct Major Requirements (10 units)
Double-counting note: Weinberg College allows up to 2 courses for the science in human culture adjunct major to be double-counted toward some other major, but not toward a minor except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a major course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
- Courses are chosen from the list of Eligible Courses or the approved list on the program website and generally relate to a theme developed with the program director.
- 3 must be core courses, including at least 1 from each of the following lists:

Honors in Science in Human Culture
Majors with strong academic records and an interest in pursuing honors should submit a proposal to the program director by the end of the sixth week of spring quarter of junior year. To graduate with honors, students must take 9 courses toward the major (not counting the honors sequence) and must satisfy the core course requirements. In addition, they must write a senior thesis of sufficiently high quality while enrolled in the 3-quarter honors sequence:
| Course | Title |

Students whose theses and grades meet program criteria are recommended to the college for graduation with honors. For more information see the detailed explanation on the program website, contact the program director, and see Honors in the Major.
