DOUBLE MAJOR POLICY A double major is a program of study that meets the requirements of two distinct majors in a single Bachelor’s degree. The program of study consists of coursework required to meet the degree requirements for each of the two majors. Students who complete the requirements for a double major receive a single diploma that acknowledges both majors. The students’ program of study for the double major should be developed in consultation with the student’s Academic Advisor after approval from the Department Chair of both majors. To receive this approval, the student must complete the Double Major Authorization Form . SECOND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Students desiring to earn a second degree at Beacon College, in addition to a B.A. or A.A. already awarded by this Institution, must complete a residency requirement of at least 30 semester hours, including at least 12 credit hours of upper-level courses in the major (B.A.) or 15 semester hours (A.A.) and meet all degree requirements for the second degree. A second diploma will be awarded after all degree requirements are met. Students will not be awarded or recognized for an associate degree and a bachelor’s degree at the same Commencement Ceremony. Students wishing to pursue a second degree at Beacon College will need to reapply to the Institution. ACADEMIC MAJORS: CORE CREDIT REQUIREMENTS Major
