Multiple Bachelor Degrees

If multiple bachelor degrees are conferred simultaneously, the student must complete a minimum of 32 hours beyond the requirements of the first degree and coursework for each additional degree. If degrees are offered by the same department or school, approval is required. For any degree, at least 50% of a student’s major and minor core requirements must be earned at Rochester Christian University. Graduation will occur when the student has completed requirements for all degrees. Students completing multiple bachelor degrees receive a diploma and pay a fee for each degree. 

Students who have already completed one or more baccalaureate degrees at an accredited college or university may earn an additional bachelor degree at RCU. If the new degree is in an area related to existing degrees, department or school approval is required.  A second bachelor degree may be earned by completing a minimum of 32 hours of coursework. Students must satisfy all program requirements for the new degree. Additional bachelor degrees are eligible for graduation with honors if 45 or more hours are earned at Rochester Christian University in pursuit of the degree.
