Dual Degrees

Graduate students interested in combining academic interests academic interests may pursue a dual degree through one of two ways: 1) A Formal Dual-Degree Program or 2) A Student-Initiated Dual-Degree Program.

• A Formal Dual Degree can be faciliated by a combination of U-M schools and/or insitutes or through a designated dual-degree program offered the Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Examples of formal dual-degree master's programs include the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise, which combines the Ross School of Business with the School of Natural Resources and Environment and Engineering Sustainable Systems, which unites the School of Natural Resources and Environment with the College of Engineering.
  
• A Student-Initiated Dual Degree is one that is arranged directly by the student. These programs are reviewed on a case by case basis and must be approved by the two schools or units involved, as well as by Rackham Records and Dissertations (OARD). They are available through the majority of schools and colleges outlined on this website, including the College of Engineering, SNRE, Michigan Law, and others.
