Dual Degree Programs

These days, a graduate degree is a must-have in many professions. At the University of New Haven, we offer the best of both worlds - a way to accelerate your education, making the transition from undergraduate to graduate study seamless, efficient, and cost-effective. We offer two types of Dual Degree programs: Accelerated and Direct Entry. Each brings a number of significant benefits.

Earn Your Bachelor's and Master's - Faster, Together with Accelerated Options

Accelerated dual degree programs let you complete both your bachelor's and master's degree at the same time, which can lead to significant time savings and more earning potential after graduation. In some cases, you can complete both degrees in the same amount of time it would normally take to complete just the bachelor's program. Accelerated dual degree students enjoy a significant discount on tuition by finishing their degree a full year sooner than traditional students. Most Accelerated programs are designed to be completed within four calendar years.

Get an Admissions Decision for Both Programs with Direct Entry

Have the certainty of knowing you're already conditionally admitted to a master's program before you even start your undergraduate coursework. At the time they first apply, students who apply Direct Entry will be accepted to their undergraduate program of choice and receive a conditional acceptance to their chosen master's degree program. Admission to the graduate program is subject to completing undergraduate coursework with satisfactory academic progress. Most Direct Entry programs are designed to be completed in five calendar years.
