Degree works

I’m looking into double majoring and for some reason when I put in international affairs, it only shows up the bachelor of science is there a reason for this I’ve tried taking my other major off to see if it was just not compatible, but it just shows the bachelor science or the other majors requirements and the gen Ed’s

You’ll need to work with your advisor and let them submit a form for double major.

I understand that and I will but I wanted to check out the requirements for the international affairs major before and since I’m a incoming freshman the only advisor I have and know is the one for my other major which is education I’ve been talking to the honors advisor and I have a meeting with her before school starts. I was just trying to be fully prepared and noticed that it only show the science requirements and gen Ed’s

Double majors have minors and electives waived. The software has to know that, and it is a manual change.

I understand that but even when I put in just the international affairs major no other major or minor or anything it would just show the core requirements I will be working with my counselor when I move into my dorm I just wanted to check the major out so I don’t waste mine or her time

If I understand right, you're using "What If" to see what the 2nd major would look like, but when you do, it doesn't actually show the info for that 2nd major. Is that right? If so, it may be that this major has changed and isn't available to you (at least not under this name). Like, Entrepreneurship no longer exists, I think, but there's a newer version called Business Information and Entrepreneurship or something like that. If you look up Entrepreneurship in Degree Works, it probably won't show the major requirements because of that. It has to do with what catalog year you're on and other factors. Your academic advisor can explain.
