Degree-Seeking
A degree-seeking student is a candidate for a degree. During the first 60 hours of study, depending on majors, students seeking Bachelor’s degrees are required to complete the 28 hour core curriculum within the 54 hour General Education requirements with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 2.0, before they may continue their studies for a major in any discipline. When a major is declared, the student is assigned an academic advisor within the major discipline. Students seeking the Associate’s degree and those without a declared major are also assigned an academic advisor.
