<strong>UMUC</strong> Bachelor’s Degrees<br />

Second Bachelor’s Degree<br />

At <strong>UMUC</strong>, students who have already received a bachelor’s degree<br />

from <strong>UMUC</strong> or from another regionally accredited institution<br />

can broaden their education by earning a second bachelor’s degree<br />

with a different discipline as a major. However, students may not<br />

earn a second bachelor’s degree with a dual major.<br />

A student must have received the first bachelor’s degree to be eligible<br />

to begin a second. For a second bachelor’s degree, the student needs<br />

to complete at least 30 semester hours <strong>of</strong> new credits through <strong>UMUC</strong><br />

after completing the first degree. The combined credit in both degrees<br />

must add up to at least 150 semester hours.<br />

Students must complete all requirements for the major, as well as<br />

an upper-level intensive writing course, the computing course<br />

required for the major, an international perspective course, and a<br />

civic responsibility perspective course. If any <strong>of</strong> these requirements<br />

were satisfied in the previous degree, the remainder necessary to<br />

complete the minimum 30 semester hours <strong>of</strong> new courses should<br />

be satisfied with courses related to the major. For the purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

determining what major requirements apply to a given student,<br />

the applicable date is the date the student started coursework at<br />

<strong>UMUC</strong> after being admitted into the second bachelor’s degree<br />

program (when the student requests an <strong>of</strong>ficial evaluation for the<br />

second degree). As with other degrees, continuous enrollment at<br />

<strong>UMUC</strong> is required. A minimum grade point average <strong>of</strong> 2.0 in all<br />

courses taken through <strong>UMUC</strong> is required for graduation<br />

If the second bachelor’s degree is in the same academic field as the<br />

first, the second degree must be in a more specialized subdiscipline<br />

<strong>of</strong> the field. To qualify for academic honors in a second bachelor’s<br />

degree, the student must complete at least 45 new semester hours<br />

through <strong>UMUC</strong> with the requisite grade point average.<br />

All students need to be aware <strong>of</strong> what is entailed in a second<br />

bachelor’s degree. Before beginning work or considering<br />

nontraditional options toward a second degree, each student<br />

should consult a <strong>UMUC</strong> academic advisor. Academic advisors<br />

will be happy to explain the requirements for a second bachelor’s<br />

degree and clarify its limitations.<br />
