Second Bachelor’s Degrees

Former Molloy University students and Molloy graduates wishing to work toward a second bachelor's degree (B.A., B.F.A., B.S.W. or B.S.) must be readmitted to the new desired major program of study by the Office of Admissions. Requirements for second bachelor’s degrees include:

  • Completion of a minimum of 30 credits at Molloy beyond the minimum total credit requirements (128 unless otherwise noted) for the first bachelor's degree, with a minimum cumulative index of 2.0 or "C" average
  • Completion of a major not already completed as part of the first degree
  • Completion of any additional Liberal Arts and Sciences credits to meet the requirement.
  • File an online Application for Graduation within the deadlines published in the Academic Calendar.

NOTE: The General Education Requirements completed for the first bachelor's degree at Molloy need not be repeated. However, specific courses required for the related requirements of a second major will need to be met, as well as all the major requirements.

Students holding a bachelor's degree from another accredited college or university may apply to Molloy for admission into a program leading toward a second bachelor’s degree. A maximum of 98 credits will be transferred into Molloy. The only required courses will be courses necessary for the new major not already accepted in transfer. A minimum of 30 credits must be completed at Molloy University. The previous degree should be compatible to the second bachelor's degree to meet the Liberal Arts and Sciences requirement. Courses applied to the previous degree's major may not be reused for the second bachelor's degree's major requirements.

All students are reminded that for a B.A. degree, 90 credits of the work shall be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences; that for a B.S. degree, 60 credits of the work shall be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences; that for B.F.A. or B.S.W. degrees, 30 credits of the work shall be in Liberal Arts and Sciences; that for an A.A. degree, 45 credits of the work shall be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences; and that for an A.A.S. degree, 20 credits of the work shall be in the Liberal Arts and Sciences.
