Double Majors/Additional Majors

Students who enrolled after Fall 2022 are eligible to pursue more than one major program of study. Students must select a primary degree program (designated by a B.A. or B.S. indicator in Workday). For their primary major, students must complete all requirements included on the Program of Study page (e.g., Major Requirements, General Degree Requirements, and Additional Requirements). For additional major programs, students only need to complete the course requirements in the Major Requirements section. Students whose primary and additional majors are business programs will only need to complete the Business Environment requirements once. Per the Course Sharing Policy, students may share no more than three courses between two major programs.

Students who complete an additional major will only receive one bachelor's degree, which is determined by the student's primary major program of study (B.A. or B.S.). Additional major programs will not be included on the student's diploma, but will be listed on the student's academic transcript.

Second Bachelor's Degree

Bentley students may not concurrently pursue two bachelor’s degrees. However, students who have completed an undergraduate degree at Bentley or elsewhere may enroll in a second bachelor’s degree program at Bentley, subject to the following conditions:

• Students must meet all academic eligibility requirements for their second degree and major;
• Students must take at least 60 credits at Bentley, at least 24 of which are in the major discipline of the second degree; and
• The remaining courses within the 60-credit residency requirement must be approved by the host departments of the second major.

No courses taken by students for their first bachelor’s degree may count among the 60 Bentley credits required for the second bachelor’s degree. Bentley students may not work concurrently for two bachelor’s degrees.
