Dual Master Program

Courses

The dual master degrees are earned by completing 72 credit hours of coursework, of which 48 credit hours are core courses, 15 credit hours are electives, leaving nine credits, which are counted for both programs from the core courses. Because of the intensive nature of this program, students are admitted as a cohort in the fall and spring (no summer starts) and must follow the program plan to be successful.
