Graduate Program Multiple Degree Policy
A student may enroll in multiple unrelated, graduate-credential programs with the following provisions:
1. The degree must be in a different discipline from the first degree; a different specialization of the same degree is not considered a different discipline.
2. A student may use the same course (overlap credits) to count in two different Rasmussen graduate degree programs if the course meets the published graduation requirements in both programs.
3. All acceptance requirements for the additional program must be met. This policy also applies to graduates of a graduate-level program returning to complete a second graduate degree.
