II-04a: Second Majors in the Humanities Among Bachelor's Degree Completers

Data Source and Other Information

Source: U.S. Department of Education, Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Data analyzed and presented by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences’ Humanities Indicators (www.humanitiesindicators.org).

About the Data

Data on second majors are reported by the institution (rather than the student), and thus no meaning can be inferred from these degrees being designated as second (rather than first) majors.
