Second Master's Degree

A minimum of 15 additional credit hours above the total credit hour requirement for a primary master’s degree (usually 36 credit hours) must be completed in order to earn a second master’s degree, and all course requirements of the second degree must be met. The 15 additional credit hours required to earn a second master’s degree must be earned at Wilmington University (see the Program Chair for specific course requirements). The completion of the two degrees does not have to occur simultaneously. As long as a student earns the minimum additional credits and the specific program requirements are met, the second degree may be completed at a later time.
