Second Major Program students must:

degree, from an institution which was an accredited four year
college, in a major different from the new one being sought;
2. Select one of the University’s major programs and complete all
requirements for that major as listed in the catalog which is in effect
at the time of admission to the program. (If a student enters the
program the first semester after graduation from Benedictine

a valid Leave of Absence form on file; and
4. Complete all work on the Second Major within seven years of

Life experience credit, transfer and CLEP exam credit may be counted
toward the program requirements, if appropriate, as determined
by each department. However, at least 12 hours of 200/300-level
classroom courses must be completed at Benedictine University.
Applicability of courses taken as a Student-At-Large prior to admission
to the Second Major Program will be determined upon admission to
the program.
Courses taken in the Second Major Program are applicable to a second
bachelors degree for graduates of other colleges. Those courses will
also be counted toward the second degrees residency requirement.
Upon completion of the program a notation on the transcript will
be made that all requirements for a second major have been met.
A certificate will also be awarded.
Students with a documented physical or mental disability may be
eligible for special accommodations through the Americans with
