An undergraduate degree-seeking student enrolled at Carroll College may pursue either a four-year program leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree; for more information about baccalaureate requirements, please visit the Degree Requirements section of this catalog. Information regarding graduate-level degrees, programs, and requirements are found in the Graduate Programs Bulletin section of this catalog.
Students are expected to satisfy the graduation requirements in effect the year of initial enrollment as degree candidates at the College providing they can complete requirements within a continuous six-year period. If graduation requirements change after that date, students have the option of petitioning to satisfying either the requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment or the requirements of a subsequent catalog. Generally, if a student interrupts attendance, s/he must graduate under the requirements in effect at the time of re-admission; however, a student who takes a one- or two-semester break from the College and leaves in academic good standing may be eligible to return under her or his original catalog year, providing s/he can complete the requirements within six years of initial enrollment. Determination of appropriate catalog years is made by the Registrar.
Any Carroll course for which college-level credit (course numbers 100–499) is given may be applied toward the total credits needed for graduation, except physical education activity courses (LAS-102) and certain Military Science (MSL) courses; in the case of LAS-102 physical activity courses, only two (2) credits apply toward the total number of credits needed for graduation. A minor is not required for graduation, except for candidates who graduate under certain teacher education options.
