Graduate Students: Second Concentration and Second Major Requirements
Second Master’s Degree Requirements
Students who desire to pursue a second master’s degree at Siena Heights University shall have completed all
requirements for the first master’s degree at Siena or another accredited college or university. The same
requirements for admission to a graduate program (such as filling out the application and following the
requirements of the application checklist) and other conditions relative to the pursuit of the first master’s degree
are applicable to the second master’s degree, except a maximum of six (6) credit-hours of completed graduate
work from the first master’s degree may be applied toward the second master’s degree if such courses are
appropriate for the second program and are approved by the respective program director for inclusion in the
program. In most cases, for graduate students whose first master’s degree is from Siena Heights University,
those six (6) credit-hours are from the common core courses such as LDR601 (Leadership Theory) and LDR602
(Research and Professional Writing), providing these two (2) courses have been taken within the seven (7) year
limit for completion of degree requirements for the second master’s degree.
Second Concentration Requirements
Students who desire to pursue a second concentration in a given Master of Arts program (Clinical Mental Health
Counseling, Leadership, or Education) must complete the required courses for that program concentration.
Elective courses cannot be counted twice. For example; a student who has completed the Organizational
Leadership program and wishes to complete the requirements for the Healthcare Leadership program does not
have to retake the common core courses, but must take the required courses for the new concentration.
When applying for the second master’s degree or concentration and financial aid will be needed, it is highly
recommended that the student make an appointment with the financial aid office. If applying within the same year
of graduation, students will need to submit an application, application fee, and official transcript with degree
conferred. If more than a year has lapsed, students must submit an application as if new to the program, and
follow the requirements listed on the checklist. When the second concentration is completed, students must
submit an application for graduation, marked “major only” to the Registrar for the nearest upcoming graduation.
Students do not participate in commencement for second concentrations nor are they awarded additional
diplomas.
