The Accelerated Undergraduate plus Graduate Dual Degree Programs provide undergraduate students in the College of Architecture & the Built Environment the opportunity to complete foundational coursework in one of our graduate programs while completing their baccalaureate degree. Enrollment in an Accelerated Dual Degree Program guarentees academically qualified undergraduates admission and advanced standing in a graduate program, subject to satisfactory completion of admission requirements. In most cases, completion of two professional degrees requires just two to four semesters of coursework beyond the bachelor’s degree, providing a seamless and cost-effective transition from undergraduate to graduate study.
The Accelerated Dual Degree Programs allow students to customize their education, break outmoded disciplinary silos and expand professional opportunities. Layering an additional area of expertise to their primary area of study affords graduates the credentials and competencies to tackle a broad range of design and industry-related projects and to address pressing environmental and community-based issues. The Accelerated Dual Degree Program prepares students for the complexities of contemporary practice and affords our graduates a competitive edge in today’s market.
This accelerated dual degree option is intended for students who wish to pursue a distinct graduate degree in both the STEM-designated Construction Management program and the Real Estate Development program by capitalizing upon coursework shared by both programs and upon the flexibility of elective courses. Students may complete both programs in 61 credits, instead of the 73 credits required if the programs were pursued separately. Both degrees can be accomplished in two-years of full-time study, comprising a total reduction of twelve credits or one semester of graduate coursework and tuition.
