Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A) Policy statement and purpose
This describes the policies associated with completing a second master's degree program at BGSU.
(B) Policy scope
In addition to completing the basic core requirements for both programs, students can share up to nine course credits between programs (if academically appropriate). If a student is completing a second master's degree concurrent with another master's degree, these shared credits must be approved by both programs and the graduate college. If a student is completing a second master's degree after the completion of a first master's degree, these shared credits must be approved by the second master's program and the graduate college.
Students pursuing a second master's degree must complete separate culminating experiences (e.g., thesis, comprehensive exam, etc.) in each master's program. No shared culminating experience credits are permitted.
Including any allowed shared credits, a student must meet the total minimum credit and curricular requirements of both master's degrees.
A minimum of eighteen credits must be completed at six thousand-level for each master's program. If a six thousand-level course is shared, it can be then counted toward both programs' eighteen credit minimum. Time-to-degree rules apply for all courses.
