Concurrent Second Bachelor's Degree Application for Students Currently Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in a Degree-Granting Unit Outside of the College

This application can be completed and submitted by students whose first degree is outside of the College of Arts and Sciences at IU. The College includes the departments and programs that span the Arts and Humanities, Natural and Mathematical Sciences, and Social and Historical Sciences as well as our three schools: the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design; the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies; and the Media School.

You are eligible to pursue a second degree in the College if you:

  • have completed at least one graded semester as a degree seeking student on the Bloomington campus
  • have been admitted to a degree granting school at IUB before applying for a concurrent second degree through the College
  • have completed the College’s English Composition requirement
  • have earned at least a 2.000 cumulative College of Arts and Sciences grade point average (CGPA)
  • have earned at least a 2.000 GPA in the major of the first degree and in the major of the proposed second degree (0.000 allowed in the major of the first degree and in the major or concentration of the proposed second degree if no course work in the major has yet been completed at IU)
  • are in good academic standing according to the policies in place in the degree-granting unit through which your first bachelor’s degree is offered

Certain degree combinations are not permitted:

  • Jacobs School of Music students may not pursue a College second degree in the same major as the outside field on the BSOF.
  • You may not pursue another bachelor’s degree concurrently with the Bachelor of Liberal Studies.
  • You may not pursue a major and minor in the same discipline or a major in the second degree that is substantially the same as the first degree.

Meet with a College advisor

You must make an appointment with an academic advisor for the second degree major to have your academic record reviewed and discuss future plans. Your application will not be considered by the College until a departmental review has been completed. The departmental review must occur in the same semester as the one in which you submit your application.

You must log in with your CAS username and passphrase to submit this application.
