To earn a baccalaureate degree a student must complete (1) University requirements, (2) University Studies - General Education requirements, (3) University Writing Requirement, (4) Race & Ethnic Studies Requirement, (5) specific requirements for the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Applied Science Degree, (6) requirements for a major, and (7) Second Language competency if admitted with a High School Second Language Deficiency. Students earning a single major in Liberal Studies, or completing the Urban Honors program do not need to meet the University Studies General Education requirements.
Students bear final responsibility for ensuring that the courses taken are applicable toward satisfying their degree requirements.
Concurrent Degrees
Students may earn two degrees at the same time, as long as the degrees are different and the majors are different, by 1) meeting the requirements in the specific Bachelor’s degree (e.g. BA, BS, BFA, BM) and in each major, 2) earning 36 credits beyond the 180 minimum required for a single Bachelor’s degree (i.e. 216 credits total), and 3) meeting the PSU Residence Credit requirement by completing 45 of the last 75 or 150 of the total 216 at PSU.
