Master of Accountancy in Accounting / MSc in Management in Denver United States | University of Denver

A structured dual degree initiative combines two master's programs or pairs a master's with a JD program, culminating in two distinct degrees. All formal dual degree proposals require endorsement from both the Graduate Council and the Senior Vice Provost for Research and Graduate Education.

Formal dual degree programs fall into two categories. The first type integrates two different academic fields, requiring students to fulfill core requirements for both while minimizing elective coursework. The second type combines two specializations within a single discipline, allowing shared core courses while maintaining separate elective tracks.

Dual degrees must be pursued simultaneously rather than sequentially. To satisfy this condition, candidates must maintain enrollment in both programs for a complete academic year (three quarters or two semesters). For one-year programs, students must enroll in the second program before completing more than half of their initial program's coursework.
