Undergraduate - UMUC Europe

Students must complete all requirements for the major, as well as an
upper-level writing course, the computing course required for the
major, an international perspective course, and a civic responsibility
course. If any of these requirements were satisfied in the previous
degree, the remainder necessary to complete the minimum 30
semester hours of new courses should be satisfied with courses related
to the major. For purposes of determining what major requirements
apply to a given student, the applicable date is the date the student
started coursework at UMUC after being admitted into the second
bachelor’s degree program (when the student requests an official
evaluation for the second degree). As with other degrees, continuous
enrollment at UMUC is required. A minimum grade point average
of 2.0 in all courses taken through UMUC is required for graduation.
If the second bachelor’s degree is in the same academic field as the
first, the second degree must be in a more specialized subdiscipline
of the field.
All students need to be aware of what is entailed in a
second bachelor’s degree. Before beginning work or
considering nontraditional options toward a second degree, each
student should consult a Maryland academic advisor.
Academic advisors will be happy to explain the requirements for
a second bachelor’s degree and clarify its limitations.
