Concurrent Graduate Degree Programs
A graduate student who wishes to pursue degrees in two programs concurrently must have the written approval of the chairperson of each department involved and the Dean of the Graduate School. Any student interested in pursuing concurrent degrees should discuss the proposed study with the Graduate School's Admissions Office staff prior to applying for the programs. If the request is approved, the student must be officially admitted to both programs through regular procedures. If the student is approved to pursue two master's programs, no more than six hours of course work from one-degree program may be applied toward meeting the requirements for the second master's degree. These six hours must be petitioned by submitting a request to the Dean of the Graduate School.
