攻读第二（或更多）研究生学位的学生不得重复计算或修读任何与完成先前研究生学位有关的课程。如果第二学位的必修课程已经完成并适用于以前的学位，则学生必须与教职顾问会面，讨论要完成并替换为新学位的新课程。此规则也适用于交叉列出的课程，这些课程被视为同一课程，但在不同主题下提供。
Students pursuing a second (or more) graduate degree may not double count or retake any course that applied toward the completion of a prior graduate degree. If a required course in the second degree was already completed and applied toward a previous degree, the student must meet with a faculty advisor to discuss a new course to be completed and substituted in the new degree. This rule also applies to cross-listed courses, which are considered to be the same course but offered under different subjects.
