Additional Graduate Degrees

A student who holds a master's or higher degree may earn an additional master's degree in another discipline. With the approval of the department chairperson and the Director of Graduate Studies, a student holding a degree in a discipline may earn another master's degree in the same discipline, provided it is on a different published option. In any case, a maximum of 50% of the post-baccalaureate semester hours may be counted toward another degree, provided the hours apply to the stated requirements of the subsequent program and were earned within time to complete requirement of the student's additional degree. Note that the maximum percentage of previously earned credits able to be counted toward a certificate is 33%. (Academic Senate, 5/5/21, 2/27/24)
