Duplicate degrees

The Municipal Graduate Policy indicates that:

The University of California generally discourages duplication of degrees. At the same time, it recognizes that a professional degree does not duplicate an academic, and that holders of either an advanced or professional degree may have an urgent need to pursue another degree in a field very different from that of their first endeavors.

All applicants for a second degree at the same level as, or at a lower level than the degree they already hold will be required to show a compelling reason to the department before it is considered and recommended for admission to the Dean of the Graduate Division.

If admitted for a second degree, students will be held to all normal degree requirements and University regulations pertaining to fees, registration, examinations, promotion, residency, etc. Courses already referred to any earlier academic degree cannot be applied to a second degree.

The Graduate Division is particularly concerned that a thorough review and special justification be made by the specialization program in all cases where an applicant or continuing student is recommended for admission to a second doctoral program. This concern also extends to the recommendation for student support for pursuing a second doctoral degree.
