An undergraduate student who elects to pursue a double major must complete all required coursework for each program, completing at least 120 credit hours. An undergraduate student who elects to pursue dual degrees must complete at least 120 hours for the first degree, an additional minimum of 36 hours for the second degree, and required coursework for each degree. A student electing a double major or dual degrees must file the appropriate form and secure an advisor in each program or degree.
Each graduate degree program is considered to be separate from any other degree program. Therefore, the policy governing the pursuit of a second Marymount graduate degree is essentially the same for the pursuit of a first degree, including the minimum number of credits required for residency, consortium course restrictions, and probation/dismissal policies. The second degree must include at least two-thirds of the total number of credit hours normally required for a single degree. In addition, all of these credit hours must be from courses that were not completed for any other degree.
The University cannot guarantee availability of all course requirements without scheduling conflicts when pursuing a dual academic program or degree.
