Can I earn a second bachelor's degree at UMGC?

Yes. If you already have a bachelor’s degree from UMGC or another accredited school, you may earn a second one at UMGC in a different major.

Key rules

  • Must be a different major (no double majors, General Studies, or Applied Technology).
  • No minors or second associate degrees allowed.
  • Complete 30 new UMGC credits after your first degree.
  • Total credits across both degrees must be at least 150.
  • Prior major courses don’t count toward the 30 new credits.
  • Maintain a 2.0 GPA and continuous enrollment.
  • For honors, all 30 new credits must be at UMGC with the required GPA.
