Dual Degree Programs
A dual degree program allows for academically outstanding students to pursue two separate degree programs through a structured arrangement that may reduce time to degree completion. Separate degrees are awarded within one university or inter-institutionally when students pursue and complete simultaneous majors leading to two, separate degrees at the same level based on a formal agreement. Separate academic awards for each distinct degree are conferred bearing the university’s name, seal, and signature.
| Architecture/Architectural engineering | BArch and BSArchE |
| Architecture/Plan II | BArch and BA |
| Business/Computer science | BBA and BSCompSci |
Programs with other institutions.
The dual degree programs listed above lead to two University degrees; in other programs, students pursue degrees from the University and from another school at the same time. The University’s School of Pharmacy offers a coordinated program with the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Public Health leading to the Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) professional degree from the University and the Master of Public Health from the center.
Integrated Degree Programs
A degree program, typically five years long, based on a formal agreement within one university or that is inter-institutional intentionally designed to serve as a bridge between undergraduate and graduate programs. Integrated degree programs allow undergraduate students to complete master’s coursework as an undergraduate student and use those courses toward a master’s program. Graduate-level courses taken by undergraduates may be used to satisfy their undergraduate degree requirements or they may be reserved for graduate credit towards the graduate degree. Such arrangements may reduce time to degree completion. After completing undergraduate degree requirements, students transition to the graduate program and complete their master’s degree as a graduate student.

Bridge Programs
Bridge programs offer undergraduate students an opportunity to prepare for future graduate study by providing access to courses and program resources that normally require graduate standing. Undergraduate students may apply for admission through the graduate academic unit sponsoring the bridge program. Admission to a bridge program is highly competitive and does not guarantee admission to a graduate degree program. For more information, each of the following bridge programs is described in the Graduate catalog section for the graduate program that sponsors it.
