History Requirement 2010

Quick update on the changes in the history requirement for general education as of Fall 2010...the catalog section on earning a second bachelor's degree has been amended to exclude the requirement to take American History as part of the second bachelor's degree program. Therefore students presenting a bachelor's degree from any regionally acredited institution of higher education, including The University of Memphis, will not be required to take American History to complete second degree. The first degree is assumed to have completed all general education requirements. Please keep in mind that the following requirement remain in place:


To earn the second bachelor’s degree, the student must:
1. Complete any additional college requirements as determined by the office of the dean of the college granting the second baccalaureate degree.
2. Complete all requirements for the major as determined by the department in which the second baccalaureate degree is sought.
3. Complete a minimum of 30 semester hours in residence.
4. Earn a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and a minimum GPA of 2.0 in all coursework taken at the University of Memphis.

In some cases the completion of history courses may be required to meet a requirement listed above.
