Double Major
Only one degree will be awarded (e.g., M.A., M.A.cc., M.A.T., M.B.A., M.B.S., M.M., M.P.H., M.S., P.S.M.) and reflected on the transcript, but both majors will be noted. The student must specify, prior to graduation, which degree is to be used for degree granting purposes. Students pursuing double majors must meet all requirements and must apply for, take, and pass the comprehensive examination or approved equivalent in each major. No degree will be awarded until all requirements for both majors are complete.
If a student is interested in obtaining two master's degrees, they must complete the first degree program before applying to the other. Students may be advised by the program or Graduate Dean that it is to their advantage to seek a higher degree (specialist or doctorate) upon completion of a master's degree rather than obtaining two master's degrees. Additional consultation from the student's program advisor or the Graduate School regarding a decision to declare a double major or to seek two master's degrees is strongly recommended.
