Dual Degree Programs
Dual degree programs are structured so that a student can pursue graduate work in two fields and fulfill the requirements of two degrees; in programs leading to two master's degrees, the degrees are awarded simultaneously. To enter a dual degree program, you must be accepted by both of the individual programs.
Each individual program may have different deadlines or additional requirements that you must fulfill. Therefore, you should contact the graduate adviser or graduate coordinator in each individual program of the dual degree program before submitting the application for admission.
Always refer to the Graduate Catalog for the most recent information on degree programs.
