2. Students receiving two bachelor's degrees (example: Bachelor of Arts in Great Books and Bachelor of Business Administration)shall complete a minimum of 30 credits in addition to the credits needed for one of the degrees (degree requires 120 + 30 additional credits). In addition, the 54 credit hour residency requirement shall apply separately to each degree.
