Dual Degree Programs - Earn Two Degrees in Less Time
As a graduate student at Anderson, you can pursue an integrated course of study by combining two master's programs, known as a dual degree. A dual degree plan allows you to earn two master's degrees by sharing credit between the two degrees, reducing the cost and time to earn a dual degree. Dual degree students can share a maximum of 12 credit hours between programs. Anderson offers dual degrees with the following programs:
- MBA/MS in Project Management
- MBA/MS in Cybersecurity and Business Analytics
- MBA/Master of Accounting
- MS in Project Management/MS in Cybersecurity and Business Analytics
- MS in Project Management/Master of Accounting
- MS in Cybersecurity and Business Analytics/Master of Accounting
To pursue a dual degree, you must follow these requirements:
- Prepare a written rationale for the dual degree program, including a description of the objectives to be achieved.
- Work with your program advisor at Anderson to develop a plan of study combining both degree plans, indicating which courses will be shared between the programs.
- After receiving admission to the first program, submit an application, including application fee, to the second program. Include the written rationale and plan of study signed by the program advisor. Submission of these materials must take place within three semesters (including summer) of your acceptance to the first graduate program. Acceptance by the second program establishes your status in a dual degree pgoram.
- Both degrees must be completed in the same semester. If coursework for one program is completed before coursework for the second program, you must delay graduation until coursework from both programs is complete.
