Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts Degrees

Candidates for baccalaureate degrees must comply with the general regulations governing baccalaureate degrees. Candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree must meet the foreign language requirement and other special requirements of the University.

Consecutive Bachelor's Degree Beyond the First Bachelor's Degree

Students may receive additional baccalaureate degrees beyond the first degree in cases where a bachelor's degree has already been awarded. University policy prohibits the awarding of more than one degree from the same degree program due to the overlap of core requirements of that degree program. A student completing a second bachelor's degree in the College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences must complete a minimum of thirty semester unduplicated hours in residence, a new major, a new minor if one is required for that program, and satisfy the Civic Literacy requirement. The additional thirty semester hours must be completed in residence after the completion of the first degree. With regards to the major, students will be permitted to use the prerequisites and core requirements that had been completed in a prior bachelor's degree, but any elective courses cannot be applied to the second bachelor's degree. There are no General Education requirements for the second degree.

Dual Bachelor's Degrees

In certain cases, students may pursue multiple bachelor's degrees simultaneously. The requirement for earning concurrent, or dual, bachelor's degrees are: (1) satisfy the requirements for each major/minor as well as individual college requirements for both the first and the second degrees; (2) complete thirty semester hours in residence, in addition to the hours required for the first degree, for a minimum total of 150 earned hours, and (3) complete all University degree requirements. There are no General Education requirements for the additional degree(s). Students pursuing dual degrees will be expected to graduate within a standard four-year timeline.

Note: To distinguish between second baccalaureate degrees and second majors, see the appropriate paragraph under “Undergraduate Degree Requirements” in this General Bulletin.
