Undergraduate Students Earning a Second Degree

Undergraduate students who have earned a bachelor's degree from 天美传媒, or from another regionally accredited college or university, may matriculate at 天美传媒 to pursue a second bachelor's degree, but not an associate degree. The second degree must be in a different field of study from the first one. Persons seeking admission under this program must obtain approval from the Director of Admissions before submitting an application for admissions. To obtain approval, submit an email to the Director of Admissions explaining the rationale for the request and how the second degree will differ from the first.

To earn a second baccalaureate degree, with a major in General Studies, a student must:

  • obtain approval from the Director of Admissions;
  • earn a minimum of 30 semester credits subsequent to the award of the initial degree; 15 of which must be upper level in the new concentration;
  • apply no more than 9 credits from the previous degree earned to the new concentration; and
  • meet current general education and concentration requirements.

**Students who have already received a bachelor's degree in General Studies are not eligible to receive financial aid for a second bachelor's in General Studies.

To earn a second baccalaureate degree in a major other than General Studies, a student must:

  • obtain approval from the Director of Admissions;
  • earn a minimum of 30 semester credits subsequent to the award of the initial degree; 15 of which must be upper level in the new major;
  • meet all of the requirements of the major.

Persons holding a Master of Arts or Master of Science, an advanced professional degree or an earned doctorate must also request approval from the Director of Admissions before applying for a bachelor's degree program. The College will allow credits  from a completed graduate program to be applied toward any 天美传媒 undergraduate degree, major, or concentration.  Persons holding an associate degree may not earn another associate degree. Those holding a bachelor's degree may not go back to earn an associate degree.

Note: The College's policy on undergraduate admission to a second degree program governs students who have earned their degree prior to matriculating at 天美传媒. For undergraduate students who wish to simultaneously seek a degree at 天美传媒 and another regionally accredited college or university should review the Concurrent Degree Policy.
