Pursuing a Second Bachelor’s Degree or Second Bachelor’s Major Sequentially after a Break in Attendance
Second Bachelor’s Degree
A student who has previously earned a baccalaureate degree from Lindenwood University may return to earn a second bachelor’s degree if the student is seeking a major leading to a degree type not previously earned at Lindenwood University. The student must complete the core requirements of the major. Students will be required to take only those specific General Education classes that are degree requirements for their major. Upon completion of all requirements, the second degree and major will be added to the student’s transcript. The student will receive a new diploma listing the degree and major earned.
Students seeking a BA, BFA, BS, or BSW who have previously earned a bachelor's degree from another regionally accredited university may waive the Lindenwood University General Education requirements. Such students will be required to take only those specific General Education classes that are degree requirements for their major.
Second Bachelor’s Major
A student who has previously earned a baccalaureate degree from Lindenwood University may return to earn a second bachelor’s major if the student is seeking a major leading to the same degree type previously earned at Lindenwood University. The student must complete the core requirements of the second major. Upon completion of all requirements, the second major will be added to the student’s transcript with the notation “Second Bachelor’s Major.” The student will not receive a new diploma as no new degree type has been earned.
