Second Degree
For those students who are currently completing/ have completed a first undergraduate degree and are interested in beginning a second undergraduate degree at Queen’s, we do have options available!
It is important to note that in some cases the degree combination may be denied by the faculty if they deem there is too much overlap between a first and a second degree. If you have questions about the academic viability of your degree choices, you can contact us at transfer@queensu.ca. If your two-degree choices are totally different, you do not need to worry about overlap and can focus on ensuring you are meeting the GPA and the prerequisite requirements for the second degree.
