CONCURRENT/DUAL MASTER’S DEGREES

É«ÖÐÉ« graduate students may enroll concurrently in a second master’s degrees program!  If approved, they can complete two master’s degrees simultaneously, and the two degree programs can reside in separate or the same academic units.

To do so, graduate students must seek approval of both graduate academic units.  If approved, the academic unit(s) granting the degrees must collaborate to develop a plan to allow completion of both degrees. 

CONCURRENT MASTER’S DEGREE PLAN

The concurrent master’s degree plan must outline how the student will meet the 30 unique unit minimum for each degree in the concurrent program. Units beyond the 30 unique unit minimum may be shared between concurrent degrees. Students must complete distinct culminating activities for each degree (e.g., a comprehensive exam for each of the two degrees; two different theses or projects; one comprehensive exam and one thesis or project).  The plan must be approved by the Dean of Graduate Studies or designee prior to enrolling and beginning work on the additional master’s degree.
