          Undergraduate Degree Requirements

          Degrees

          Hood offers three undergraduate degrees: the Bachelor of Arts, the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Candidates for these degrees must complete requirements as outlined below. It is the responsibility of the student to be sure that all degree and major requirements are fulfilled by graduation.

          General Requirements

          • Demonstration of the ability to write and speak standard English (included in the grade evaluation for every course at Hood College).
          • Compliance with all general regulations of the College and of the Student Government Association.

          Graduation Requirements

          • Completion of at least 124 credits in courses numbered 100 or above.
          • Achievement of a 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average.
          • Enrollment in the final 30 credits on the Hood campus as a degree candidate.
          • Completion of the College Core Curriculum.
          • Completion of all major requirements. 

          Major Requirements

          • A 2.0 cumulative Grade Point Average in courses in the major discipline must be maintained.
          • A minimum of 12 credits of course work in the major discipline must be completed at Hood.
          • A minimum of 15 credits of course work in the major discipline must be completed at the 300-level or above. 

          The Second Degree

          Students who wish to earn any two degrees (B.A. and B.S.) concurrently must accumulate 154 semester hours of credit and fulfill Core Curriculum requirements for both degrees and the requirements for both majors.

          Students already holding a bachelor’s degree who wish to earn a second bachelor’s degree, must accumulate at least 30 credits as a degree candidate at Hood and meet all degree and major requirements. Some departments require more than two semesters of full-time enrollment. determination of how many credits must be earned at Hood for the second degree is made by the registrar, based on evaluation of the transcript from the original degree-granting institution.

          A second bachelor’s degree is offered through the Encore Program to Hood alumnae and alumni who hold a B.A. or B.S. from Hood. (This program is not available to alumnae and alumni who have only attended Hood’s Graduate School.) The same provisions apply as above, but at one-half tuition. Hood graduates apply for reinstatement as degree candidates through the Registrar’s Office.
