Second Baccalaureate or Associate Degree

Second Associate Degree

A student who has earned or is seeking an associate degree from Murray State may earn a second associate degree in a different planned specialty program upon meeting course requirements for that degree and upon completing at least 24 additional hours in residence at Murray State, over and above requirements for the first degree. The student may be required to complete additional University Studies courses if they are specifically required for the intended second degree. Nine hours must be completed toward a new planned specialty program and GPA requirements are the same as required for the first associate degree.

All students seeking a second degree must apply for admission/ readmission to Murray State University and must have the specific program plan pre-approved by the department chair and dean of their new area or major and by the Office of the Registrar. Failure to seek approval in advance from these three parties will likely result in a second degree not being awarded as not all areas and majors will be possible for those seeking the second degree.

Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who have earned or are seeking a baccalaureate degree may earn a second baccalaureate degree in a different major or area. The student must complete a minimum of 30 new semester hours in residence at 澳门开奖结果, exclusive of hours taken toward requirements of the first degree, including any specific departmental requirements, prerequisites and co-requirements.

The student may be required to complete additional University Studies courses if they are specifically required for the intended second major or area. Post-baccalaureate transfer work will not be posted to the student鈥檚 academic record until their degree is conferred. Only the transfer coursework required for the second degree will be posted.

1. in all credits present for graduation whether earned at Murray State or elsewhere (cumulative GPA);
2. in all credits presented for graduation that were completed at Murray State; and
3. in the courses for each major, minor, or area.

All students seeking a second degree must be appropriately admitted/readmitted to 澳门开奖结果 and must have the specific program plan pre-approved by the department chair and dean of their new area or major and by the Office of the Registrar.
