Dual Degrees

Dual degree programs enable student to earn two degrees concurrently. 

Dual Bachelor's Degrees:

A student may be granted two baccalaureate degrees if all requirements for both degrees have been met.  The degrees must be offered by two different colleges (academic units), or if they are offered within one college they must be a different degree (ex. BS and BA).

Dual Master's Degrees:

A student may be granted two master's degrees if all requirements for both degrees have been met. For each degree this includes a minimum of 18 hours of graduate courses with a minimum of three hours of 8000-level courses. In addition, a student must complete 12 hours of shared 8000-level graduate credit. 18 + 18 + 12 = 48 hours of graduate credit, which is the minimum total hours for a dual master's degree program.

Students must apply for admission to each program. Students may postpone enrollment in an approved dual-degree program to no later than the end of their second semester at MU. Students must have a separate advisor and committee for each degree program.
