Double DegreesA student may earn two different degrees simultaneously. The degrees may be offered by the same college, or by different colleges. To earn double degrees, a student must complete a minimum of 32 credits above the minimum number of credits needed for one of the degrees. Advisors complete a separate graduation audit for each of the degrees. The student receives two diplomas. The international degree is one example of a double degree. The double degree may be earned concurrently or subsequently. (See Academic Regulations #26.) The student’s academic record will list each degree with its major, e.g. Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, Bachelor of Arts in English.

Dual (or Multiple) MajorsA student may earn two or more majors within a single degree program. It is sometimes possible to complete two or more majors within the minimum number of credits required for a degree, but usually the student must complete additional credits to complete requirements for all of their majors. For this reason, dual majors are most often obtained within the same college. The advisor must complete one graduation audit that includes all of the majors. The student’s academic record will list one degree with two or more majors, e.g. Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Chemistry. The student receives one diploma. Dual majors may be obtained concurrently with the completion of the degree, or in some cases may be earned as a credential subsequent to completion of the degree. (See Academic Regulations #27.)

Honors DegreesStudents completing the honors college curriculum receive a single degree in the college of their major, e.g. HBS Honors Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, or HBA Honors Bachelor of Arts in English. In some cases it might be possible for an Honors College student to earn two degrees following the requirements for double degree requirements outlined in Academic Regulations #26.

Undergraduate GraduationAn Application for Bachelor’s Degree must be filed at the Registrar’s Office three terms before expected graduation so that degree progress can be monitored each term. Graduation audits will then be available to students at head advising/dean’s offices. The current graduation audit distribution schedule is available on the Registrar's Web site at http://oregonstate.edu/registrar/GradAppDeadlines.html.
Commencement exercises are held once yearly in June and attendance is optional. Undergraduate students who expect to graduate during the summer immediately following the June ceremony may participate in the June Commencement exercises.
