Policy

Students who hold a previous baccalaureate degree from Minnesota State University Moorhead or from another institution whose degree is recognized by MSUM may earn an additional bachelor’s degree (degree name must be different than the initial degree, i.e. B.A. and B.S.) by:

• Completing at least 30 resident credits at MSUM if the first degree was not earned at MSUM;
• Meeting all MSUM course requirements for the degree program, including at least six credits from the MSUM department awarding the degree. Any teaching major must include an approved major and teacher education requirements; and
• Maintaining at least a “C” average in all studies at MSUM.

Students with a previous Minnesota State University Moorhead degree may add another major or minor by completing any additional requirements as certified to the Registrar by the department offering the major or minor and by the education department in the case of any teaching major.

Students completing two majors must meet departmental requirements for each major.
