Special Conditions:

No degree may contain more than 20% of its courses from SFMCA. The completion of SFMCA courses is optional for this program. Courses in parentheses are equivalent courses to those listed. Students may choose either, but not both to satisfy their majors.

SFMCA/SFA Equivalents are as follows:

• XA = Andorian Orientation College
• XC = Cardassian Orientation College
• XK = Klingon Warrior Academy
• XR = Romulan Orientation College
• XV = Vulcan Orientation College
• MD 25 = Aerospace Medicine Specialty
• ST 40 = College of Strategy and Tactics (level 1 & 2)

Students must apply for the highest degree qualified for at time of application. If a student is qualified for a Doctorate, he/she may not apply for Associate or Bachelor degrees as well.

A student may only earn a maximum of two degrees at any one level. The two degrees must differ in at least 20% of the courses. One of those two degrees may not be a minor of the other; the two degrees must have different majors and/or minors.

The exception to the above restriction is for the Doctorate level. In order to give the Doctorate level students an incentive to keep taking classes, a student may earn as many full Doctorates as desired beyond the initial two. Only the first two Doctorates are eligible for double majors. Subsequent Doctorates must be single majors only.

College Listing for Majors

Courses on a student´s record that are no longer offered will be evaluated for content on a case-by-case basis for inclusion into the ADP.

A course may only be used ONCE on any application. For example: a course used to satisfy Core requirements may not be used again to satisfy Major, Minor or Elective requirements.
