Second Bachelor's Degree

A student with a bachelor's degree may earn a second degree by completing, in residence and with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher, a minimum of 32 semester hours over and above the requirements for the first degree, including a new major. All hours for the second degree must be in Arts and Sciences courses completed while enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences. The University of Alabama and College of Arts and Sciences degree requirements must be met in full, according to standards in effect on the date of enrollment in the second degree program. A specific course required for both the first degree and the second degree does not have to be repeated; however, a course applied toward the minimum number of hours required for the first degree cannot be applied to the minimum number of additional hours required for the second degree. Students whose first degree was earned at another institution or in another division of The University of Alabama must meet all quantitative and qualitative requirements for the degree in accordance with regulations in effect on the date of enrollment in the Arts and Sciences degree program and may be required to complete more than 32 hours to qualify for the second degree.
