Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who have earned an undergraduate degree from The College at Brockport or another accredited institution are eligible to earn a second baccalaureate degree in a program leading to a different academic major. All program requirements must be met and a significant amount of course work beyond your first degree requirements must be completed in order to earn a second baccalaureate degree.

 

Degree Requirements

1. Students pursuing a second baccalaureate degree must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours in addition to the hours required for the first degree. The College Residency Policy requires that a minimum of 30 credits be completed at the College. The residency requirement includes completion of at least 15 credits needed for a major. If you are pursuing a minor or certification program, you must complete at least half of those credits required for the minor/certification program at The College at Brockport.
2. Students must fulfill all prerequisites, corequisites and major requirements for the second degree program, and complete all General Education, liberal arts, and upper-division requirements in effect at the date of matriculation in the second degree program. Transfer credit may be used to fulfill these requirements.
3. The minimum GPA for consideration for admission to the College is 2.5.

 

Programs of Study

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions admits applicants to the College and not to a major. A separate application or pre-requisite courses may be required for admission to your intended major. Review our undergraduate programs of study to determine if your intended major has additional requirements for admission.
