FB94 UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS Contact: factbook@bc.edu Date Posted: 02-13-95 ================================================================ NOTE: Due to the width of this table in the printed edition of the Fact Book and the limited width that Gopher can display legibly on the screen, the right half of this table has been separated and is shown below the left half (after the row of plus signs (+++++)). The two halves of the table can be easily reassembled in a spreadsheet program if desired. For instructions on how to do this, see the folder "Moving Fact Book Tables to MS Excel" in the main menu of the Gopher edition of the BC Fact Book.

Students with double or triple majors are therefore counted two and three times. Thus, adding the numbers in a column does not produce accurate enrollment totals. Evening College students are not included in this table. ** In Fall 1994 the Romance Language majors were comprised of 54 French majors, 5 Italian majors, and 65 Spanish majors. Source: Registrar
