Associate Degree After Bachelor's Degree

Students seeking an associate degree in a different program area after completing a bachelor degree must complete all courses required for each program and must complete a minimum of 207 credit hours (46 courses). This is a minimum of 27 credits (six courses) in addition to the 180 credits earned in the bachelor degree. If a course listed in the major area of the associate degree is listed in the major or concentration area of the previously earned bachelor degree, an equivalent course must be substituted and taken in its place for the associate degree. Courses taken in the General Education Core may apply to both programs and substitutions are not required. Students may not earn an associate degree after a bachelor degree in the same program area.
