"All four-year degree candidates must complete at least 30 credit hours of study through UMPI in order to receive a baccalaureate degree. At least 12 of these credits must be in the major and at least 9 of these 12 must be at the upper level (300-level or above)."
All bachelors degree candidates have to do 30 credits; candidates do not have to do 30/12/9 credits per major. What you're saying is that a degree candidate needs to do 30/12/9 credits per major. But this would entitle them to get two degrees instead of simply two majors.
"In order to receive additional degrees, the following conditions must be met: (1) The first degree must have been awarded; (2) The student must apply through Admissions for subsequent degrees; (3) A minimum number of credits must be earned beyond the total hours earned for the previous degree: 15 for each additional Associate, 30 for each additional Baccalaureate."
Unless the requirements for two degrees and two majors are the same, students wouldn't need a second residency requirement. BLS students don't have majors, for example.
