Double Degree

To earn two four-year degrees (example: Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science in Education), the student must complete all requirements with the exception of General Education for both degrees plus an additional 21 semester hours above the minimum for one degree.

No student may simultaneously graduate with a BS and a BA degree with identical majors (e.g., BS-Math/BA-Math).    No student will be permitted to graduate with more than two degrees in any one semester.

The student earning a Bachelor of University Studies degree as the first degree must meet all of the requirements of the second degree, including General Education, plus an additional 21 semester hours above the minimum for the Bachelor of University Studies degree.

To earn two associate degrees, the student must meet all requirements for both degrees plus an additional 11 semester hours of credit above the minimum for one degree.  A student may earn a bachelor’s degree and an associate’s degree if the requirements for the associate’s degree have been completed a minimum of one term prior to the completion of the bachelor’s degree.

In special cases, with the approval of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, a student may earn an Associate in Science degree simultaneously with a bachelor’s degree or earn an associate’s degree after earning a bachelor’s degree.

The student who has already earned a bachelor’s degree MUST apply for graduation AGAIN in order for the University to award the Associate in Science degree.

A STUDENT MAY NOT BE GRANTED AN ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A BACHELOR’S DEGREE OR BE GRANTED AN ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE AFTER EARNING A BACHELOR’S DEGREE.
