Second Undergraduate Major and Second Degree Policy
A student who has already completed a bachelor's degree may be admitted to Central Connecticut State University for a second undergraduate degree. A transfer student (whose earlier degree is not from Central) must satisfy all degree, major, minor, general education and residency requirements. Transfer students are required to have a minimum of 30 credits at Central in order to receive a bachelor's degree.
A student, who already holds a bachelor's degree from Central and wishes to complete a second degree in a different major area of study, may do so by completing all curriculum requirements in effect at the time of re-admission, with a minimum of 30 new credits. If all curriculum requirements are met, and the 30-credit minimum has not been attained, the remaining credits shall consist of additional directed electives chosen by the department. When these new degree requirements are met, the student will be issued another diploma and will be entitled to participate in commencement ceremonies.
A student who already holds a bachelor's degree from Central or elsewhere also has the option enroll at Central and complete additional coursework without pursuing a second bachelor’s degree. Students in this category are classified as non-matriculated and shall follow all applicable non-matriculated enrollment policies. Completion of additional coursework as a non-matriculated student does not result in the conferral of an additional diploma or degree.
