V. Upper Division Courses Required
A minimum of 36 semester credit hours must be completed in upper division courses by all
undergraduate degree
recipients. All courses numbered 300 and above are defined as upper division.
VI. Majors
The specific requirements of a major or related fields concentration are determined by the
department or program
responsible for the major or concentration subject to approval by the University Curriculum
Committee.
Students desiring to have more than one major listed on the transcript must have the
written approval of the
dean(s) of the college(s) offering the majors.
VII. Minors
Minors shall consist of a minimum of 20 semester hours of course work with the course
distribution established
by the appropriate department or departments with the approval of the University Curriculum
Committee. Minors may
consist of courses associated with a department or discipline (e.g. Chemistry); a specialty within
a department (Office
Administration, etc.) or a collection of courses which cross disciplines (e.g. International
Studies). A minor is not
required by the University but may be required in some programs for an undergraduate degree. A
student may declare a
minor in the office of the dean of the college in which the minor is offered.
VIII. Double Use of Courses
(1) Courses within a major or required by a program may, at the same time, fulfill
General Education
Requirements for the University. (There are a few exceptions to this general rule. These
exceptions are stated under departmental requirements, for example under the School of
Communication.)
(2) Courses may NOT generally be used, however, to count at the same time toward
the total credits needed for
2 majors, 2 minors, or a major and a minor.
(3) In certain cases courses may count toward a major (or minor) and, at the same
time, fulfill
"Extradepartmental Requirements" for another major or program. Consult college or
departmental offices for more specific information.
IX. Grade Point Average
To qualify for a degree a student must achieve a minimum 2.00 (C) average on all
University work. For transfer
students, it is required that the overall average (including transfer work) be 2.00 (C) and that the
average work taken
at the University of North Dakota be 2.00 (C).
Some undergraduate colleges require higher averages. (See requirements under
specific College information.)
X. Residence Requirements
A candidate for the bachelor's degree who enters with transfer credit must obtain from the
University a minimum
of 30 semester hours of institutional credit and 60 semester credits from a four-year college.
Fifteen semester credits
in the student's major and four semester credits in the minor, if a minor is declared, must be
institutional credit.
Some colleges of the University may require more than 15 hours of institutional credit in the
major. The last 30 credits
for the bachelor's degree ordinarily must be institutional credit.
Exceptions to General Graduation Requirements. Any exception to the above general
degree requirements must be requested
by the student at least six weeks prior to his or her expected graduation date. Petitions must be
initiated in the
office of the student's dean.
Formal Application for the Degree Sought. Candidates for degrees must make written
application to the Registrar or to
the Dean of the college of the degree within the first four weeks of the semester in which the
student expects to
receive the degree. Blank application forms may be obtained from the Registrar. Students
applying for two or more
degrees to be awarded simultaneously must receive approval from each College granting the
degrees.
Conferring of Additional Baccalaureate Degrees. Students who have majors falling
under different degrees may be eligible
for a second degree. Candidates for a second UND baccalaureate degree must complete a
minimum of 155 hours (30
additional hours beyond the University minimum of 125 hours for a first baccalaureate degree).
Each successive
baccalaureate degree beyond that will add 30 hours to the minimum requirement. All college and
major requirements for
the second degree must also be fulfilled. At least one-half of the additional 30 hours must be
institutional credit. A
minimum of 15 semester credits of the major and a minimum of four semester credits of the
minor, if declared, must be
institutional credit.
