What is the difference between a Second Undergraduate Degree and a New Major?
Most major programs at UWM are available as a second undergraduate degree. New majors can be earned in majors only from the College of Letters and Science, Peck School of the Arts, and Criminal Justice in the Helen Bader School of Social Welfare by those already holding a degree in that school/college. In addition, any major in the Sheldon B. Lubar School of Business can be a new major if your first undergraduate degree was in business. Note that a student is awarded 90 credits toward a second undergraduate degree when applying. This means that one can earn a second degree with as few as 30 credits, provided appropriate prerequisites are met.
