Undergraduate Dual Degrees

Stack It Up

Grow your area of expertise—and job prospects—with a dual degree.

Deepen your skills by broadening your studies in two academic areas instead of just one. Dual degrees allow you to gain experience across disciplines, giving you additional expertise and enhancing your career opportunities. Other benefits of a dual degree include:

  • Complete both degree programs in as few as four and a half years
  • Receive both degrees for the same tuition rate
  • Guidance from dedicated advisers in each degree area
  • Enhance your applications to graduate programs (for example, medical school)

“I want to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience, and a dual degree in biology and psychology is a stepping stone to get there. I was able to participate in undergraduate research during my freshman year, which gave me a lot of useful laboratory skills and made me more confident in lab settings. I studied abroad during my junior year. Both have given me opportunity and life experiences that I am thankful to have.”
