Our department provides a combined Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in Religious Studies. This dual degree option allows eligible undergraduates to take graduate-level courses that count toward both degrees. Admission to the dual degree program requires formal approval from both the department and the College of Arts and Sciences. It's important to note that acceptance into the dual program doesn't guarantee admission to the master's program - students must still meet standard graduate admission requirements and complete the regular application process for the master's degree.
