Degree Plus
The Degree Plus program enables students to earn two bachelor's degrees in four years—one from CLA and another from a different Purdue college—without extending their time or tuition costs. By waiving the CLA core curriculum, Degree Plus students can seamlessly integrate a world language and culture education with disciplines like business, science, or technology. This dual-degree pathway enhances critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills, making graduates more marketable and competitive in diverse career fields.
In the School of Languages and Cultures, you may pair any of our majors (Asian Studies, Chinese Studies, Classical Studies, Comparative Literature, French, German, Italian Studies, Japanese, Russian, or Spanish) with a major in a STEM field to earn both a B.S. and a B.A. degree to obtain a STEAM education.
