Dual Baccalaureate Degrees

A student who has earned a minimum of 28 undergraduate credits from IUP and is in academic good standing may apply to pursue a second baccalaureate degree concurrently with the first. This application must be submitted to the dean of the college in which the major program of study for the second baccalaureate degree is housed. If admitted to a second baccalaureate degree program, the student must designate one of the two degree programs to be primary. To receive both degrees at graduation, the student must earn at least 30 credits beyond the requirements of the designated primary program of study. The student must earn a minimum of 150 credits to receive both degrees concurrently. Furthermore:

1. The student may not be graduated until both the degrees are completed.
2. All requirements for the curriculum of each degree must be satisfied.
3. A course required in both degree programs does not have to be repeated for the second degree, but exceptions might apply at the departmental level.
4. All university requirements, such as a minimum GPA and number of residency credits taken at IUP in the major, must be met for each degree separately.
5. Should a student elect to discontinue the pursuit of receiving two baccalaureate degrees simultaneously and decide to apply for graduation with one degree, the student will be bound to the Postbaccalaureate Studies requirements if a later return to IUP is desired.
