Graduate students who have completed one master's degree program at San José State University may, with the approval of the new department, complete requirements for a second master's degree at this institution.
A student who is interested in undertaking a second graduate degree program must apply for admission to the second graduate degree program after the first degree program. All policies and procedures that apply to the completion of the first master's degree apply to the completion of requirements for the second graduate degree.
The graduate degree program for the second degree should be prepared by the student and graduate advisor in the new field without regard to course work taken in the previous degree. If the new program happens to include course work taken in the first degree, a maximum of one-third of the total units required for the new degree may be from courses taken for the previous degree at this institution. The courses must be approved by the advisor and must have been completed by the student with a grade of "A," "B," or in special cases "CR." Students enrolling in the Master of Fine Arts program should consult their department regarding acceptance of units earned in a Master of Arts program. Care should be taken to assure that all courses on the first degree program used for the second degree are within the seven-year period for completion of the second degree.
