9.1. Concurrent Master's Degrees

A student may be allowed to work at satisfying the requirements of two master’s degrees concurrently. A maximum of 10 graduate credits of course work can be applied to both programs of study as approved by all members of both supervisory committees, the two program administrators, and the Graduate College.

A student pursuing multiple graduate degrees must:

• Apply and be accepted to both degree programs
• File a plan of study for each program
• Complete all academic program requirements
• Complete all Graduate College requirements
• Maintain continuous enrollment in each program
• Successfully complete the master's thesis, paper, or culminating experience for each degree program
• If each program requires a master’s paper, thesis, or culminating work, they must differ substantially and must result from substantial work completed independently in each discipline.
• Successfully complete any final defense as required for each program
