Students who feel that they will gain significant educational or career advantage by earning more than one associate degree from RCC may submit an application to request written approval to pursue study toward another degree. In order to qualify for the second degree, a student must complete at least 20 applicable credits beyond those used to satisfy requirements for the first degree.
Students who wish to qualify for the degrees simultaneously must submit an application for a dual degree to request approval as soon as they are aware of their plans to earn two degrees.
Students who already have completed one degree should seek approval prior to matriculating in the second-degree program. Interested students should contact their academic advisor.
