Dual Academic Programs or Degrees

Each graduate degree program is considered to be separate from any other degree program, and each requires achievement of all programs’ learning outcomes. Therefore, the policy governing the pursuit of a second Marymount graduate degree is essentially the same as that for the pursuit of a first degree, including the minimum number of credits required for residency, consortium course restrictions, and probation/dismissal policies. The second degree must include at least two-thirds of the total number of credit hours normally required for a single degree, unless specifically noted by a particular dual-degree program. (See program requirement details in each school section of this catalog.)

The university cannot guarantee availability of all course requirements without scheduling conflicts when pursuing a dual academic program or degree.
