Change of Program and Additional Degrees

Change of Program

Some students decide after matriculation that they are better suited for another program at the University. In such cases, students may request to transfer to a new program by contacting their Academic Advisor. All general and program specific admissions requirements must be met when applying.

Students are recommended to consult with the Financial Aid/Student Accounts Office before program transfer is granted. Approval is required from the Dean or Program Director/Lead of the college the student wishes to transfer and the Office of the Registrar. A maximum of two (2) requests may be made in order to change degree or concentrations.

Additional Degrees

Students that wish to earn an additional degree/certificate must apply and meet all admission requirements of the new program of study. Students may only be enrolled into one (1) program of study at any given time.

Courses completed with USU will be reviewed to determine if they are applicable to the new program of study. Refer to the Transfer Credit Policy for transfer criteria. USU graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education/Bachelor of Education are not eligible to apply for the Master of Arts in Teaching; however, those graduates may seek admission to the Master of Arts in Education.
