F1.3 Concurrent Master’s Degree Programs

Updated: May 11th, 2012

Concurrent degree programs are combinations of two separate master’s degree programs officially reviewed and approved by the campus. Students are permitted to count a limited number of courses towards fulfillment of both degrees.  Since “double counting” is otherwise not allowed, an official concurrent degree program generally decreases the time required to earn both degrees.  Although requirements for one degree may be completed during an earlier term, the two degrees of the concurrent program are awarded the same semester the second one is completed.

A list of approved concurrent degree programs is provided on the Graduate Division’s Admissions webpage “Graduate Programs and Application Deadlines” (www.grad.berkeley.edu/programs/list.shtml).
