- A student may earn two master’s degrees from SUNY Poly. The student must satisfy all degree requirements for each degree program. A student my use up to 9 credits from their first degree program, taken at SUNY Poly, to apply toward the second degree program (which also will apply toward the 27 hour per degree residency requirement).

In programs with more than 9 credits of course overlap between degree requirements, all common courses will be counted toward fulfilling degree requirements but additional course work to reach the minimum new credits will be required. A student wishing to complete more than one master’s degree may transfer a different set of courses from another institution for each degree.
