Requirements

To earn dual degrees, students must meet requirements of both programs. You may think this would take eight years of study (four years per degree), but this is not true. Many core and elective courses can be "double counted," which greatly reduces study time. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete two degrees in just five years.

In today's job market, the extra year of study that dual degrees require could be the difference between finding a good job or not. Two degrees for the price of one — how can you lose?

Students must complete the graduation requirements of both programs concurrently or sequentially. To complete the two degrees within five years, it is important for students to start planning before their first semester.
