If you have already received an associate degree from an approved institution other than UMGC, you can broaden your education by earning a second associate degree.
The following conditions apply:
You must have received the first associate degree to be eligible to begin the second.
For a second associate degree, you must complete at least 15 credits of new coursework with UMGC. The combined credit must add up to at least 75 credits.
The 15 new credits must be uniquely applicable to the second associate degree.
Before beginning work toward a second associate degree, you must request an academic advisement report.
As with other degrees, continuous enrollment at UMGC is required.
A minimum grade point average of 2.0 in all courses taken through UMGC is required for graduation.
Before beginning work or considering nontraditional options toward a second degree, consult an advisor or success coach. They will be glad to explain the requirements for a second associate degree and clarify its limitations.
