2nd BA/BSc in Interactive Arts + Technology
For those who wish to pursue a second Bachelor's degree (BA or BSc) in Interactive Arts + Technology, please read the below. Once you've applied, you will then need to meet with an advisor in Interactive Arts + Technology who will finalize your graduation requirements.
A student who already holds a bachelor’s degree(s) from an approved institution may complete a second or subsequent bachelor’s degree at the University, subject to the following conditions and regulations.
The basic requirement for a further bachelor’s degree is the completion of the upper division requirements associated with a first bachelor’s degree from a recognized post-secondary institution. Prior completion of lower division prerequisites may also be required or may be waived at the discretion of the department or program in which the further degree is being sought.
A student may not enrol in a further bachelor’s degree program in a subject in which she/he already holds a degree. A student who has a minor (or equivalent) in a particular subject may enrol in a further degree with a major or honors program in that subject.
Credit earned towards a previous degree or diploma may not be used toward a further bachelor’s degree. Transfer credit may be given for additional courses completed beyond the previous credential but prior to Simon Fraser University admission. However, the normal upper division residency requirement applies: at least two thirds of the upper division course work for the degree must be completed at Simon Fraser University. Some faculties may have additional residency requirements.
Faculties may limit inter-faculty transfer for second degree students.
Students admitted to second degrees are deemed to have met all of the breadth requirements (designated and undesignated), three units of the Q requirements and the lower division W requirement. (The remaining W and Q courses must be three units each. The W course must be upper division.)
For more information, see “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 of the SFU calendar.
