UMUC Associate Degrees Second Associate Degree It is not possible to earn two degrees concurrently at the same level (e.g., two associate degrees) using the same credit. However, students may wish to pursue a second AA degree after the award of the first AA degree. A student who holds an associate degree from UMUC or another regionally accredited college or university can earn a second, more specialized, associate degree by meeting the following requirements: 1. Request an Official Evaluation for the second degree before enrolling in applicable coursework, but after completing the requirements for the first AA degree. If the first degree was not with UMUC, the student must complete at least 6 s.h. with UMUC before the Official Evaluation is conducted. (Official Evaluations are discussed earlier in this Catalog). 2. Complete at least 15 s.h. of new coursework with UMUC (including at least 9 s.h. in the core or core-related area, depending on the degree). The new 15 s.h. must be uniquely applicable to the second UMUC AA degree. If the second degree is in the same field as the first, the second degree must be in a more specialized subdiscipline of the field (e.g., it is permissible to earn a second AA in BMGT after earning the first AA in MGST, but not the reverse). 34 Earning an Associate of Arts Degree after Earning a Baccalaureate Degree It is possible to earn an associate degree concurrently with a baccalaureate degree if all degree requirements have been met for both degrees and the student applies for both degrees. However, once the baccalaureate degree is conferred, the student will be held to second degree rules for associate degrees, which stipulate that 15 s.h. of new credit must be earned. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog
UMUC Bachelor’s Degrees Expectations UMUC aims to produce graduates who are well prepared to be responsible citizens of the global society as well as effective participants in the complex, fast-changing world of work. A bachelor’s degree from UMUC offers a multidimensional experience, combining a solid educational foundation with crosscurricular breadth and focused study in an academic discipline. Through that experience, UMUC graduates develop and demonstrate the hallmarks of the educated person: intellectual ability, curiosity, and flexibility; fundamental skills in reasoning, analysis, and expression; understanding of the principles of scientific and intellectual inquiry; awareness of global and historical context; and civic and ethical responsibility. UMUC demands that students demonstrate the ability to learn and to apply that learning to career and life experience. The UMUC degree begins with basic intellectual tools, ensuring through the general education requirements that students are able to: • Communicate effectively, orally and in writing. • Reason mathematically. • Examine and critically assess aesthetic, historical, and cultural works reflecting the variety of human thought and cultural achievement. • Comprehend the nature, techniques, and limits of science and the social and behavioral sciences. • Use libraries and other information resources to locate, evaluate, and use needed information effectively. • Understand information technology and apply it productively. Cross-curricular requirements, promoted throughout the curriculum both by specific courses and by integration throughout all programs, build the student’s ability to analyze, synthesize, and integrate knowledge, perspectives, and techniques. The cross-curricular initiatives in effective writing, fluency in information technology, civic responsibility, historical and international perspectives, and information literacy ensure that students are able to: UMUC Bachelor’s Degrees Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Science (BS) UMUC students in Europe can take bachelor’s degree programs in the following fields: accounting, anthropology, art history and appreciation, business administration, business law and public policy, communication studies, computer and information science, computer studies, criminal justice, economics, English, foreign language area studies, general studies, government and politics, history, humanities, human resource management, information systems management, international business management, management studies, mathematics, marketing, psychology, social science, sociology, and women’s studies. Students at every location may take a combination of online (distance education) and traditional classes to complete the requirements for their bachelor’s degree. When students leave Europe, they may also have access to these additional UMUC programs: African American studies, art, art history, Asian studies, biology, biotechnology, business supply chain management, computer information technology, computer science, environmental management, finance, fire science, forensics, gerontology, global business and public policy, journalism, legal studies, mathematical sciences, microbiology, natural science, speech communication, and strategic and entrepreneurial management. The requirements that all candidates for the bachelor’s degree must meet are summarized in the following sections. • Define problems, identify appropriate resources, and use information efficiently. • Understand information technology, and use it productively. • Think critically and communicate effectively. • Function in professional roles requiring an appreciation and understanding of the interdependency among all disciplines in the global workplace. • Put learning in the context of historical events and achievements through time. • Function responsibly as adult citizens of the world, engaging and negotiating different perspectives and exercising ethical judgment in their personal and professional lives. In pursuit of an academic major (and/or minor), the UMUC student acquires mastery of a considerable body of knowledge in a specific subject area or group of related subjects. Each major and minor provides clearly articulated objectives for the knowledge, skills, and abilities a student acquires in completing the major. Requirements In general, the UMUC degree requirements that apply to a student are those that were in effect when the student began continuous enrollment in any public institution of higher education in Maryland (including UMUC). If a student has not been continuously enrolled, the requirements that apply are those in effect at UMUC when the student resumes continuous enrollment. To be considered continuously enrolled, degreeseeking students must be, or have been, enrolled at a Maryland public institution of higher education and have had no more than two sequential years of nonenrollment. When a continuously enrolled student chooses to change degree programs, the student may be subject to the degree requirements in effect at the time of the change. The following requirements for the BA and the BS are applicable to students who enroll on or after 1 August 2004. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 35
