Combined and Dual Degree Programs

In coordination with several of the professional schools, the College of Arts and Sciences students may earn combined degrees. Combined degree programs are offered in dentistry, law and medicine. In the combined degree program, 30 credit hours in the professional schools may count toward the fulfillment of the baccalaureate degree. All degree requirements of the College must be fulfilled. The professional hours are generally considered upper-level elective (blanket) credit. In this manner, the two degrees are earned concurrently and the student's program is accelerated considerably. Students are advised to check with the advising offices of the appropriate schools before making their plans.

Dual degrees are awarded to students who complete all requirements for double majors in the College and also earn 150 total credit hours. The general education requirements for both degrees, if different, must be completed as well. Additionally, the College cooperates with the School of Education to enable students in elementary and secondary education to earn dual degrees in the School of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences.
