Dual Degree
Dual degree programs allow students to pursue degrees simultaneously in two fields of study. To obtain a dual degree, the student must satisfy the admission, course, and examination requirements of BOTH programs.
Current OU students can now add a dual degree late in their program with the approval of both departments. However, the student still must graduate with both degrees in the same semester. If they add a dual degree towards the end of their first program, they will have to push the graduation date of that program until they are able to finish the second.
REQUIREMENTS
- All deficiencies must be completed and all degree requirements, including research tools, foreign languages, non-thesis examination and thesis, must be met for both programs.
- Up to 20 percent of the total graduate credit hours required for both degrees taken individually may be counted as credit for both programs, with approval.
- The double-counted courses must be appropriate, and approved, for each degree.
- The student must graduate with both degrees in the same semester.
DSA PREREQUISITES
