Must apply for admission to the first major and validate admission through enrollment. In the semester following that
enrollment, the student must apply for admission to the second major and concurrent degree approval by submitting
the Application for Concurrent Degrees from the Office of Graduate Studies.
May share between 0% and 15% of the total combined minimum credit hours. Only structured graduate coursework may
be shared.
Will meet all other separate degree requirements (e.g. two dissertations, one thesis/one dissertation, projects, exams, etc.),
unless the Concurrent Degree was approved with a combined requirement by Graduate Council through the formal
Concurrent Degree Curriculum Approval process.
Must have a minimum of 60 total combined graduate hours after the shared hours are applied for concurrent master’s
degrees, or a minimum of 102 total combined graduate hours for a concurrent master’s/doctorate degrees.
Degrees may be conferred sequentially or concurrently, as specified in the approved major requirements.
Both degrees must be conferred within the time-limit for the first degree to which the student is admitted.
Example: A student is enrolled in two master’s degree programs, one requires 30 hours and the other requires 42 hours
minimum. With approval, the student may share 9 hours (equal to or less than 15%) across the combined 72 total minimum
credit hours required. The total minimum hours completed would then be 63. The student would also complete two separate
theses. In concurrent degrees where the student is completing a thesis for one major and the other does not require a thesis,
the thesis submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies reflects the major for which it is required.
