- Description
- Qualified undergraduate students may elect to enroll in a dual-degree program, combining their undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a Master of Science degree in Biology. The dual-degree program requires the successful completion of a total of 145 s.h., including at least 115 s.h. at the undergraduate level and 30 s.h. at the graduate level. The dual-degree program can be completed in five years. Students who are admitted to the MS portion of the dual-degree program may count 9-12 s.h. of our graduate course offerings with approval from the department chair, graduate director or their undergraduate advisor. These 9-12 s.h. will apply to the undergraduate degree in addition to the required minimum 115 s.h. of undergraduate course work, for a minimum of 124 s.h. for the BS.
