Postbaccalaureate students (i.e. those already holding a bachelor's degree) may pursue a program leading to an additional baccalaureate degree. You should consult with a faculty advisor within your selected academic program to determine whether a second baccalaureate or graduate program best meets your needs.
As a second bachelor's applicant, you must meet the same admission requirements as undergraduate applicants, and you must file an undergraduate application and pay the appropriate fee within the established filing period.
To earn a second bachelor's degree at CSUMB, you must complete all of the state, CSU, and campus-specific credit and subject requirements for an undergraduate degree. If you earned your first bachelor's degree at CSUMB, you have already met all University Learning Requirements through completion of that degree. If you earned your first bachelor's degree at another institution, by virtue of that first degree, you have met all ULRs except for the nine General Education units that must be completed in residence.
No credit may be applied to your second bachelor's degree from courses taken for an earlier degree. If you previously took required major courses, you must substitute other appropriate coursework with the approval of the academic program. Also, you may not apply graduate-level (500 or 600) courses toward the requirements for a second bachelor's degree.Postbaccalaureate students may not earn minors, and are not considered for university honors. You cannot concurrently pursue a graduate degree objective and a second baccalaureate degree at CSUMB.
