Degree Requirements
Second Major

 

If a student wants to obtain a second major after receiving a bachelor's degree from USA, the student reenters the University as an unclassified student, completes the Second Major form in the Registrar's Office, and completes the requirements for that major.
 
At least half the total number of hours required for the second major must be completed in residence at USA.
 
At least nine hours of the work in the second major satisfactorily completed in residence at USA must be in addition to work completed as part of the bachelor's degree.
 
Once the student has completed the requirements, the appropriate dean's office will send a memo to the Registrar's Office certifying that the requirements have been met. A statement is added to the student's transcript that he or she has "completed work equivalent to a major in ____________".
 
Students completing a major in this fashion may not apply the additional course work toward a second bachelor's degree.
