Admission for a Second Baccalaureate Degree

Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from Georgian Court or another accredited institution may pursue a second baccalaureate degree at Georgian Court University. To receive a second baccalaureate degree, students must satisfy the existing policy for transfer students. A minimum of 30 credit hours of the curriculum requirements must be completed at Georgian Court University.

Georgian Court graduates seeking a second baccalaureate degree must:

1. earn a minimum of 30 Georgian Court credits beyond the credits previously earned as part of the first bachelor’s degree: and
2. satisfy all of the major requirements in effect at the time of matriculation for the second degree.

No additional credits in general education (cluster requirements) beyond those required for the first degree will be required for the second degree. However, students may choose to take additional general education credits as part of the credits required for the second degree. Students will NOT be held to any new general education requirements.

Any college transfer credits taken subsequent to the first degree will not be applied toward the second degree.

This policy does not authorize the awarding of two baccalaureate degrees simultaneously to current GCU undergraduates as they have the option of pursuing a double major.
