To meet graduation requirements, the student must earn on-campus credits as follows:
- a minimum of 16 credits in the major, at least eight of which are at the upper level (normally 300 and 400 level)
- at least 30 of the last 60 credits
To recognize completion of a minor on the transcript, a student must have completed at least nine credits of the requirements on the Elizabethtown College campus, and must have earned a baccalaureate degree at Elizabethtown College.
Note: Credits earned at the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg, in the Brethren Colleges Abroad program or the International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle at East Sussez, England, while the student is matriculated at Elizabethtown College, are considered on-campus credits.
Grade Point Average:
To be eligible for graduation, a student must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0, with a minimum average of 2.0 in a major (and a 2.0 in a minor if the minor is to be recorded on the student's transcript). A student transferring from other colleges must have an average of at least 2.0 in courses pursued in residence at Elizabethtown College. Some majors require overall and/or major GPAs higher than 2.00; consult the appropriate Department information in the College Catalog.
Credit Requirements:
To receive a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Music degree from Elizabethtown College, the student must earn a minimum of 125 credits. (Mathematics 011 are not counted toward these credits.) Some programs may require more than this minimum to complete all program requirements. (See the Programs and Courses chapter in the Catalog for specific information.
No more than one bachelor's degree is ever awarded to an individual by Elizabethtown College; however, students may complete a second major, a minor, or teacher certification subsequent to graduation.
