MS in Computer Science (MSCS) Dual Master's Degree

Graduate students already enrolled in a master's degree program at Drexel have the opportunity, through the dual master's program, to work simultaneously on two master's degrees and to receive both upon graduation. To be eligible, graduate students must be currently working on their first degree when requesting admission to the second. They must obtain approval from the graduate advisors of both programs and work out a plan of study encompassing coursework and/or research (thesis) credits for both degrees.

To satisfy dual degree requirements for the MSCS and another degree the plan of study must include the following: mandatory core, flexible core, breadth and one depth course for a total of 30.0 credits. To obtain a dual degree you must have a minimum of 60 credits, thesis and research credits will be in excess of the 30.0 credits required by MSCS. The dual degree for MSCS students is only available to on-campus students.

The dual master's student must complete the Graduate Dual Degree Form and obtain approvals from both graduate advisors. Final approval is granted by the Office of Graduate Studies. The student is then registered in both majors simultaneously. Upon graduation, the student must file two Application for Degree forms. Students should contact the Office of Graduate Studies for copies of the forms.
