The College of the Arts offers a range of dual degree programs that enable eligible students enrolled in one degree program to complete work toward an additional degree program. Dual programs take two general forms:

• Dual undergraduate/graduate programs enable admitted undergraduate students to begin taking specified graduate courses during their senior year (or earlier in some cases) and count the coursework towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
• Dual graduate programs enable admitted students to use specified coursework from one graduate or professional degree program to also count toward another program.

Students in dual programs are enrolled in each degree program either concurrently or in close succession. Dual degrees may, therefore, be awarded at the same time, or one degree may be awarded prior to the second. Here is a complete list of dual degree programs in the College of the Arts:

• Film & Media - Film & Video Production Track: Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media and Master of Arts in Communication
• Film & Media - Moving Image Studies Track: Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media and Master of Arts in Communication
• Music: Bachelor of Music and Master of Music
