Where students meet the entry and course requirements for each degree, they can, if admitted to the second degree course, complete it with a minimum of the equivalent of one additional year's full-time study.
The Bachelor of Economics allows significant flexibility in the choice of subjects from other disciplines or faculties, so by appropriate choice of subjects a second degree in arts, science or computing and also commerce can be completed after the equivalent of a further year's full-time study.
Students undertaking any of the Bachelor of Business degrees with a specified major have the opportunity to take out a second business degree in another specialisation with the completion of a minimum of eight additional subjects in one year's further study.

The Faculty of Business and Economics has a commitment to excellence in education and with this aim, the faculty introduced the Dean's Scholars Program in 1997. To be considered for selection into the Dean's Scholars Program students must achieve a TER of ninety or above. Selection will be primarily based on a student's TER but performance in prerequisite subjects may be considered along with information provided by the applicant's school principal.
Students selected into the Dean's Scholars Program will be eligible to choose which degree program they wish to undertake and at which campus (subject to having the appropriate prerequisites for that degree program). However for the Bachelor of Accounting, admission is also dependent upon interview. Students selected will be given the opportunity to participate in a program of study which extends beyond the usual requirements for the degrees offered by the faculty: students may choose to take additional subjects and be able to complete their course in less than the standard period. To remain enrolled in the Dean's Scholars Program the student must continue to achieve at a high standard.
In conjunction with the Dean's Scholars Program, a number of Sir John Monash Scholarships are available which will be equal to the student's up-front HECS fee for each semester with a ceiling of $4000 per year. The scholarship will continue for the duration of the course provided the student continues to be enrolled in the Dean's Scholars Program.
In 1997 the Dean's Scholars Programs applied only to single three-year bachelor degree programs; double degree programs were not included. The university is in the process of considering revisions to this program for 1998, along with a range of additional undergraduate scholarship options. Students should consult the faculty office at the relevant campus for further details.
