Women seeking education in another field or a career change may wish to earn a second degree. Second bachelor’s degree applicants must have completed all requirements for the first degree before enrolling in coursework for the second degree.
In order to be considered for admission a second degree applicant must:

If you are admitted to Meredith College and hold a bachelor’s degree from a regionally-accredited institution you may qualify to have your General Education requirements declared completed. Completion of General Education requirements will be determined by the Registrar when you apply as a second degree-seeking student.
