Second Degrees and Certificates

Students should consult with their academic advisor before pursuing a second degree or an academic certificate. A Second Degree form can be found on the Records and Registration web page and submitted to registrar@ccm.edu.

• Students who have completed a County College of Morris degree or an academic certificate are eligible to matriculate for a second degree or academic certificate.
• Required specialized courses for the degree or academic certificate must be discussed with the advisor.
• A minimum of 21 academic credits related to a major must be earned in the second degree in consultation with the appropriate department chair to determine which courses these additional credits will represent. This will replace the residency requirement applicable to the first degree.
• Where necessary, additional credits must be completed to meet general education requirements for the second degree or academic certificate.
• All degree requirements must be met before the second degree or academic certificate will be awarded.
• Students must declare intent to pursue a second degree or academic certificate at least two semesters prior to graduation. 
• A credit transfer evaluation from a student’s first degree to the second degree or academic certificate will be made at the time of matriculation.
• Courses will be treated as internal transfer credits and transfer grades will not be used in the grade point average calculation for the second degree or academic certificate.
