Students with Two or More Majors

Students who declare two or more majors at the same time are granted only one baccalaureate degree and receive only one diploma upon graduation. If the majors declared have different degree designations, then the student must choose which degree they want to receive. All successfully completed majors are recorded on the student’s academic transcript.

Any student that has earned a baccalaureate degree at UWGB can earn an additional major or minor post-graduation.  Students with a baccalaureate degree from another University would need to complete degree requirements (and residency) to have a major and minor posted on their official transcript.
