A student enrolled in a dual degree program will be able to earn two degrees in less time and with fewer overall credit requirements than if that student enrolled in each degree program independently. Students must be admitted to both programs to be consider a "dual degree" student. Dual degree students must be admitted to both program no later than the second semester of graduate study at the University of Utah. Students are required to complete the two degree programs concurrently, not consecutively.
