Second Associate Degree

A second Associate degree shall be given to students who:

  • Meet all specific degree requirements of the academic program for which a second associate degree will be granted. (Note: The student may complete only one Associate in Arts Degree. Students may complete an additional Associate in Science degree in different programs. For those Associate in Science degrees which have multiple concentrations, the student may complete the requirements for only one concentration.)
  • Have completed the specific courses, as identified and approved by the appropriate individual or committee at the institutional level, needed to complete the second degree.
  • Completed a minimum of fifteen (15) credit hours beyond the first degree requirements. In no case (other than this 15 hour minimum) should it be mandatory for the student to take more credit hours than necessary to meet the requirements of a second degree. (Approved by College Meeting, May 9, 1994)

Students who change from an A.A. or A.S. program to a certificate program will have only that work required by the certificate program considered in determining academic standing.
