(A) Policy statement and
		  purpose
This describes the policies associated with
		  completing a second masters degree program at BGSU.
(B) Policy scope
(1) Second masters
			 degree requirements
(a) A student may pursue masters degrees in two
				unrelated disciplines at Bowling Green state university, and these two
				masters degrees can be completed concurrently or
				consecutively.
(b) Course credits:
In addition to completing the basic core
				requirements for both programs, students can share up to nine course credits
				between programs (if academically appropriate). If a student is completing a
				second masters degree concurrent with another masters degree,
				these shared credits must be approved by both programs and the graduate
				college. If a student is completing a second masters degree after the
				completion of a first masters degree, these shared credits must be
				approved by the second masters program and the graduate college.
(c) Culminating experiences:
Students pursuing a second masters
				degree must complete separate culminating experiences (e.g., thesis,
				comprehensive exam, etc.) in each masters program. No shared culminating
				experience credits are permitted.
(d) Total credits:
Including any allowed shared credits, a
				student must meet the total minimum credit and curricular requirements of both
				masters degrees.
(e) Limitations:
A minimum of eighteen credits must be
				completed at six thousand-level for each master's program. If a six
				thousand-level course is shared, it can be then counted toward both
				programs' eighteen credit minimum. Time-to-degree rules apply for all
				courses.
