Second Bachelors Degree
Concurrent Second Bachelor's Degree (150 SCH minimum)
A student desiring to complete two bachelor's degrees concurrently (showing both major degrees on the transcript and receiving two diplomas) must complete all requirements of each degree program including a minimum of 30 semester credit hours more than required in one of the degree programs. Students electing to major in two fields must meet the specified requirements for each major. No one course can be counted in the semester credit hours in more than one major. For example, the minimum is 120 semester credit hours to graduate with a bachelor's degree in one field, the student will need 150 semester credit hours to graduate with two bachelor's degrees (i.e., 120 semester credit hours for the first and 30 more semester credit hours for the second). One diploma is issued for each degree.
