If a student elects to earn a second degree at UAH after having earned a first degree at UAH or another institution (e.g., B.A. after earning a B.S.B.A.), the student must: (1) satisfy all applicable requirements for each degree; (2) earn at least an average grade of C in all UAH coursework; (3) complete a minimum of 25% of the total degree requirements at UAH for the second degree; and (4) complete majors and/or minors appropriate to the degrees (a major for one degree may count as a minor for the other degree). A specific course required for both the first and second degree does not have to be repeated; however, only courses completed after the first degree will be applied to the minimum number of hours required for the second degree.
Graduation with honors recognition for the second bachelor's degree requires a minimum of 60 semester hours of coursework taken at UAH above the requirements for the first bachelor's degree. Honors will be determined by the grade-point average for the last 60 semester hours of coursework taken at UAH above the requirements for the first bachelor's degree or all coursework taken at UAH above the coursework for the first baccalaureate degree, whichever is higher. Honors calculation for the second bachelor's degree follows the same procedures as graduation honors for the first baccalaureate degree (see Graduation with Honors, p. 64).
