Declaring Dual Degrees
Multiple Bachelor Degrees
Students may elect to earn two Bachelor’s degrees in a single, simultaneous, integrated program of study by submitting a completed Declaration of Program Change Form to the Registrar’s Office that has been approved by their academic advisor and the respective Department Chair of the second degree program.
Students cannot earn dual degrees in the same degree discipline (i.e. two Bachelor of Science in Business degrees) To earn dual degrees, students must earn a minimum of 30 credits of unduplicated coursework beyond their initial degree program while also meeting all requirements of both degrees.
While overlapping coursework is counted towards meeting the requirements of both degrees, attempting to earn dual degrees requires substantial additional coursework beyond that of a single degree, students may need to enroll in extra terms as an undergraduate student to complete the additional coursework needed to earn both degrees. The program of study for the dual degree must be carefully developed by the student in consultation with either their advisor or the Department Chair from both degree programs to ensure that the student can complete all the requirement for both degrees in a timely manner. The University cannot guarantee the offering of courses for students to earn dual degrees in a timely manner.
Students who successfully complete a dual degree program receive two diplomas (one for each degree earned) and both degrees are formally recognized on their academic record/transcript.
