Second Bachelor's Degree
If you have earned a baccalaureate degree, either at Boise State or elsewhere, you must complete at least 30 additional credits at Boise State for each additional degree you wish to earn. You must also meet the course requirements in your major as well as those of the university. In order to determine what courses you need to complete, take a copy of your college transcript(s) to the department chair of your major for review. The credits taken toward your previous baccalaureate degree are not transferred to Boise State or posted to your official Boise State transcript. However, you may need to use some of those courses as prerequisites for courses required in your second degree. For more information, click here.

To be considered for admission, you must provide by the deadline the following materials:
- Undergraduate Application for Admission. If you did not attend Boise State before, the application should be submitted with your one-time, nonrefundable application fee.
- Official transcript from the college or university that granted your degree. Transcripts from additional colleges or universities where you have earned credit are not required to apply for admission, but may be required by your department for academic advising and for proof of courses taken. We have a form you may use to request your transcript. If you have attended a university located outside the United States, we have additional information to share with you.
