Second Baccalaureate Degree
Students who wish to earn a second baccalaureate degree from John Jay College must complete at least 30 credits and at least 50 percent of the major courses in residence. Students who hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college are exempt from further general education requirements except where there may be prerequisites for courses required to complete the second major. Second baccalaureate degree students are assigned registration appointment dates and times that occur shortly after all first undergraduate degree student registration appointments. Students are permitted to earn a minor along with their second baccalaureate degree. The college’s maximum two course overlap rule will apply to this minor and the second baccalaureate major. This rule states that students cannot overlap more than two courses between major and major, major and minor, and minor and minor.
Note: Second baccalaureate students who earned their first degree at John Jay College, are not subject to the two course overlap limitation between majors.
