Double Minor / Major Programs

Since the beginning of the 2015-2016 academic year, Cyprus International University has offered its students the option of pursuing a double major or a major/minor in various programs. A student enrolled in an undergraduate degree program may take all the courses offered required for graduation in two different programs concurrently, and will thus earn two undergraduate diplomas in both disciplines. A student also has the option of doing a minor alongside his major whereby he may take specific courses from another department/program and upon successful completion of his studies will be granted both a diploma and a certificate.
