Second Baccalaureate Candidates

Students who have received a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited college or university may matriculate in Charter Oak State College to pursue a second bachelor's degree, but not an associate degree, with the permission of the Provost, Dr. Shirley Adams ( ). The second degree must be in a different field of study from the first one. Students seeking admission under this program must submit a letter to the Provost discussing the rationale for pursuing the second degree.

To earn a second baccalaureate degree a student must:

  • earn a minimum of 30 semester credits subsequent to the award of the initial degree
  • earn at least 15 of the subsequent credits at the upper level in the new Concentration
  • meet all distributive requirements
  • apply no more than 9 credits from an earlier major or concentration toward the new Concentration.

Persons holding a Master of Arts or Master of Science or an earned doctorate must also request approval in writing from the Provost before applying for a bachelor's degree program.
