UNDERGRADUATE DUAL DEGREE/DUAL MAJOR POLICY
Undergraduate Dual Degree/Double Major Policy
Students
enrolled in Bachelor Degree Programs or who have earned Bachelor Degrees at
Robert Morris may pursue a second degree/major providing they are in good
academic standing and meet specific requirements of the targeted degree/major.
Current programs with specific criteria are Accounting, Education, Engineering,
and Finance. (Please see department head for specific details.)
Undergraduate Dual Degree/Double Major Procedure
Criteria
for students who are currently enrolled in a Bachelor Degree Program:
- The student meets all applicable guidelines for earning a B.S.B.A.,
B.A., B.S., B.S.N, or B.F.A degree (core, residency, etc.). Students must
complete the requirements (of the secondary major) which are in effect at
the time the addition of a second major is approved.
- Students entering the Dual Major program must declare one major as
primary and the other as secondary. The primary majors will be used to
designate the department within which the student is studying, award
academic honors, and determine academic performance.
- Each major will be recorded on an official transcript when all
program requirements for the major are completed. If a student applies for
a B.S.B.A., B.A., B.S., B.S.N., or B.F.A degree and meets the requirements
for either major but not both, the student will be graduated from the
completed major only. The student may return as a post-baccalaureate
student to complete the requirement(s) for the second major.
Criteria
for students who have graduated from Robert Morris with a Bachelor
Degree:
- Students must complete the requirements of the second major which
are in effect at the time of reinstatement.
- Upon returning to RMU, students must change their program code to
indicate a Secondary Major/Second Degree. The Academic Services Office will assist
the student in filing a change of major form or reinstatement form.
- Once the program requirements for the second major have been
completed, the student must file a request to have the second major or
degree recorded on his/her transcript. The form is available in the Academic
Services Office.
