Double Major / Second Bachelor’s Degree / Second Bachelor’s Major

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to clarify the circumstance of undergraduate students receiving multiple degrees through multiple majors.

Scope

Parts of this policy apply to all degree seeking undergraduate students.

Policy

It is possible for a student to earn more than one undergraduate baccalaureate degree type from Lindenwood University. These degrees may be pursued either simultaneously or sequentially. They may be earned in the same college or in two or more colleges of the university.

Degree types offered at Lindenwood include BA, BAS, BFA, BS, or BSW. A student may earn a given degree type only once. For example, a student pursuing majors in anthropology and non-profit administration may not earn more than one BA. (See information on double major.)

A student who pursues multiple majors leading to different degree types may earn multiple degrees. For example, a student majoring in exercise science and social work may earn both a BS and a BSW. Students may earn any combination of degree types. (See information on second bachelor’s degree.)
