Admission to Program
Students entering the pathway to the dual degree program will need to discuss their options in their second or third years with undergraduate and graduate advisors. Prior to entering the Double Dawgs program, any student seeking to enroll in a graduate course will need the approval of the graduate advisor and the graduate coordinator.
After a student has 60-90 hours in the A.B. program, they will be able to apply to the dual degree program.
A minimum GPA of 3.5 is required.
Students will apply and be admitted to the Double Dawgs program in year 3.
