Individual Dual Degree



Individual dual degrees may be organized by students with any department. Students in dual degree programs must complete both degrees in the same semester. The students must prepare a written rationale for the dual degree and a chart outlining the requirements for both degrees and shared credits. This must be approved by the PH Program Director, the Director or Chair of the other Department and with student advisors of both departments. The agreement must be signed by all parties involved.

The student must meet all requirements for both masters degrees; a maximum of 6 hours from each field may be shared between the two programs.

For more detailed information on the individual dual degree program, see the UNM 2008-2009 Catalog. It is page 63 of the PDF file.
