I'm not sure about the BOR requirements, but the UL System Requirements for Master's Degrees has a section in it about Second Master's Degrees. If memory serves me, it limits it to a max of 1/2 of the credits required for the second degree. Here's the rules:

I think this is a good agenda for October 30. Shall we start at 10 AM and plan to end around noon? I am really looking forward to our virtual gathering.<br>
<br>
In addition to thesis defense, I would like to hear about how thesis review and submission are being handled. We have gone almost all-electronic since March. The only required human-to-human interaction is when the student submits the required number of hard
copies on bond paper to the Library.<br>
<br>
Mary gave an awesome presentation on the topic of 3b at the CSGS webinar. I would love to have a discussion so that we can prepare for our own virtual 3MT.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Based on your responses, it appears that many will be unable to travel at this time for our Fall meeting. The executive committee (Mary, Ramu, Greg*, Sanjay) discussed the situation and concluded that it
is best to postpone the regular meeting to April 2021. Hopefully, the travel situation will have improved by then.

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In the interim, we are proposing a virtual discussion session (60 to 90 minutes) on Friday, October 30<sup>th</sup>. Please feel free to make suggestion for the format and content of this virtual session
either to this list or to one of the committee members.</span></p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
