Graduate students who are pursuing two different master’s degrees concurrently, usually dual degrees, must be admitted to both programs.

  • For example if an MBA student wants to also pursue an MPH at the same time, they must also be admitted to the MPH program.

  • A second degree for a dual degree graduate student should not be manually added. The second degree should be added by way of admission to the second program.

Graduate students

  • For graduate students, adding a program to the learner record only comes as a result of earning a master’s degree during a PhD matriculation.

    • The student must be admitted as a PhD originally in order to add the master’s program. If the student was originally admitted as a master’s student and has completed the master’s degree, do not add the PhD as described in this article. The student must first be admitted to the PhD program, which will push the PhD curriculum to the learner record upon confirmation. See also Admitting a student with an existing learner record

    • To add a master’s degree to a PhD student’s record, see Adding a master's program for PhD student
