This program is designed for students who have received a degree
from the University of Northern Virginia previously. Students are
required to complete more than 50% of the course work required for the second degree. Individual degree requirements will
be determined by the Department Chair in the letter of acceptance
sent to a student who wishes to pursue the Second Degree Program.
Students must apply and be accepted by the Department Chair and may
not simply take a variety of courses at their discretion. Students
are required to complete all courses for the Second Degree and
course substitution will be very limited. The Second Degree permits
students to use their degree for the field of specialization within
the degree requirements; therefore individuals can receive a second
degree from the institution for substantially fewer credits than for
a first degree.
