Requirements for Graduation

Undergraduate students at IUP may pursue programs of study in any one of the seven undergraduate colleges: the Eberly College of Business and Information Technology, the College of Education and Educational Technology, the College of Fine Arts, the College of Health and Human Services, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, or the School of Continuing Education. A student may earn the degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Fine Arts, or the Bachelor of Science in Education. The Eberly College of Business and Information Technology and the School of Continuing Education offer Associate of Arts degree programs. To meet graduation requirements in a baccalaureate or an associate degree program, the student must satisfy all of the degree requirements, which fall into three categories:

university requirements
college requirements
department requirements.

Requirements of the latter two categories may be found under the college and the department in which the student is pursuing a program of study.

University requirements for graduation in all curricula consist of Liberal Studies requirements, residency requirements in regard to awarding of degrees, and the semester-hour and cumulative grade-point average requirements.

Exception: Students who enrolled in a degree program prior to June 1, 1989, are not subject to Liberal Studies requirements; they will complete degree requirements including the General Education components outlined in earlier editions of the Undergraduate Catalog. Transfer students entering the university between June 1, 1989, and June 1, 1991, were assigned either to General Education or Liberal Studies at the time their transcripts were evaluated. All transfer students admitted after June 1, 1991, are subject to the Liberal Studies requirements.

A student may earn a second undergraduate baccalaureate degree by completing a minimum of thirty additional semester hours. (See Second Baccalaureate Degree.) It is not possible to receive two or more baccalaureate degrees simultaneously. However, a student may complete one or more secondary majors while earning the primary degree.
