Second baccalaureate

A second baccalaureate applicant is a college graduate who wishes to obtain a second bachelor's degree in a major different from that of the first degree. Admission to the second bachelor's program is limited to fall enrollment, and each UC campus has its own policies regarding second baccalaureate applicants.

UC Berkeley

Second-baccalaureate-degree applicants currently are considered only by the College of Chemistry for the majors of chemistry and chemical biology only (subject to change for each application filing period). See the check majors page for details.
