Change Your Degree

If you want to change degree programs, start by filling out a change of degree program form. The department chairperson must approve all requests to change programs.  You must meet all the requirements of the new program and complete the documentation available in the Office of Registration and Records.

Adding a Degree and Double Degree Requirements

Undergraduate students who are currently enrolled and wish to pursue two degrees (AAS or BS) must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher. For a second bachelor's degree, you must complete a minimum of 18 credits distinction between majors, of which at least 12 must be upper-level credits. For a second AAS degree, you must complete a minimum of 75 credits, with a minimum of nine credits distinction between majors, of which at least six must be at least at the 200 level.

Graduate students who wish to obtain two degrees may overlap two to three courses, depending on the degree program, but must otherwise complete all the requirements for both degrees. Double-degree-seeking graduate students are encouraged to consult their department chairperson for advise.

All students declaring a second degree must complete the change of degree program form.
