Primary and Secondary Major Frequencies for Baccalaureate-Seeking Undergraduates, On- and Off-Campus Combined

At Virginia Tech, a student may have more than one major. The primary major listed for the student is what Institutional Research uses as the student's

major. This ensures that we get an unduplicated headcount (i.e., if a student has two majors, we only count that student once). However, in an effort

to provide the complete picture of the number of students majoring in each discipline, data on secondary majors are presented here. Data on secondary majors

are accurate only for those students who have been entered into the Degree Audit Reporting System, so these data should be considered approximations only.
